My mom just texted me a picture of her and I when I was really young. I'm on the other side of the country right now, and it made me miss her badly. Wish there was a way I had money to surprise visit her.
Dang, i can relate i moved away from my mom a long time ago and still get a little homesick.
I know, right? And she's going through a tough time right now with my other brother, so I feel really bad for her. And I feel helpless since there's not much I can offer. I just try not to cause problems for her or make her worry, at the very least.
At least now a ways you can face time or call her to at least stay in contact.
