Hmm, You are not an awful Mother/Grandmother! I believe that each person has a right to decide what they want out of life. Even your daughter shouldn't tell you where to live. I will pray that you both will stop putting the pressure on each other, and really learn to enjoy each other for who you are no matter where you live, regardless of the circumstances.
I keep working on my Daughter (light heartedly), I want her to move closer to us, but she has her own life to live, her own mistakes to make, her own dreams to achive. I can not stand in her way, she wouldn't stand in mine. We love each other dearly, and talk to each other everyday. I miss getting to spend more time with my grandchildren, but I am blessed that they only live 3 hours away. We would probably kill each other if we lived on the same block.
