Mothers and their children overseas

This post is for my mom.

My mom is a wonderful woman, and lives in the Netherlands far away from where I am now. Well the thing is that I have my moments that I miss her, but not that much as she is missing me because I started a new life, and everything is existed for me.

My mom is having a pretty hard time so now and then and she doesn't always know how to deal with things.

Now I am searching for parents who are expering the same thing as we do. A mother with her child being on distance. How do you deal with it, how do you contact, etc.

I am looking forward of any comments here, for me but mainly for my mom.

Please have a look on her website Kidsoverzee. (It's in Dutch but you might want to see the pictures or respond on that website.

Thank you.

You might want to manage your comment on your blog and block those ones you got for this post, Dave. They look like spammers.

I'm sorry to hear that your mom is having a hard time with your abscent in her life. My heart goes to your mom.

My mother was heartbroken when I had to leave them 7 years ago; I could tell she was very sad even though she was smiling and waving at my husband and me at the train station where I saw her last. One of my friends who visited my house once told me that she had pictures of me all over the house.

She is getting much better now, I think that's because she is into so many hobbies and keeping herself busy all the time. And, visits with my brother,his wife, his daughter, her own sister is also helping her stay happy and content.

You shoud send her a lot of pictures so that she can always see you and write to her often.

I'm sending your mom a big hug!
*Super Hug!*

Nice blog. It's funny, my family is Canadian but my mother's side is originally form Holland. Anyways, I live in Kobe too. It is difficult to live apart, it helps if you are able to communicate often and see family at at least once a year.
