Guardianship vs Custody?

Background story- My son is 6, when he was 1 1/2 his father was in jail and I was an alcoholic drug addict loser who did not under any circumstances deserve him. I sent him to live with his grandmother who filed for guardianship and won it. I have been clean for 3 yrs, I am remarried and have 2 daughters both 3 and a step son. I struggle everyday with the POS parent I was, I want my son to know us, me his mother and his brothers and sisters. I don't want him growing up asking Why did my mom give up on me? I was adopted and I wondered that exact thing as long as I remember. I moved to the town my son lives in 6 months ago, per request of his grandmother who needed help with him. I wanted this badly so it was no problem to uproot my husband and kids and move 8hrs away. I have been here 6 months and he is still not allowed to stay the night. Today she drops a bomb and casually says they are going to move to Iowa which is 16hrs from here. My son and I are building a meaningful and loving relationship, he is really becoming close to his sisters and step brother. He hugs on me and snuggles up to me and I feel like we are getting the chance to connect and bond in a way that I never had with my bio parents who never came back. She has said it will be in a year maybe. I am angry- I don't care if they move but I do care that I will never see him again and that I have no way to control that at this point. I realize was a loser, but I have done everything humanly possible to be a better person and parent. If she has Guardianship what do i do to insure I can have some type of court appointed visitation or custody? I refuse to lose this bond with my son that we have formed. She won't let him spend the night because she says she isn't ready - if she moves I will have to move agian and I don't feel like fallowing her around the country every 6 months.
