When I was in college (eons ago, LOL), my dad SENT me a box of change so I could call home! (In those days, all we had was a pay phone in the hall.) Do you know how much it costs to mail a box of change?? I guess it was still cheaper than collect!
It's funny. Often D and I communicate more often than S & J. That's mostly because we IM while he's at work! I don't call him much because I'm afraid I'll intrude and because I know he's busy. (When he's not at work he needs to spend time with his wife and kids. ) He doesn't often initiate the contacts. Of course I usually contact J as well (unless he wants something -LOL).
My mother used to say, the older your children are, the bigger their problems... As parents it's hard to balance our need for connection with their needs to be independent adults...
My only advice: love them unconditionally,and keep busy!
