Every night after work, I am really sad. i am really missing my Mom. It's been two years now that we haven't see each other. She is in the province now and I am here in the city. We have to separate ways because I am working. I miss the moment when we are together. We used to eat together with my siblings. Next month will be her birthday. I am planning to surprise her. I am planning to see her. I will buy some gifts for her. She is also longing for me. As much as I want to be with her, i cannot do something on that. I really have to stay here in the city and work for us to survive. What about? Are you still with your Mom or you are already separated with her? Share your opinions and feelings about the topic. happy posting!!!

Hi friend, It is really a good news that you are surprising your mom on her birthday.Even though it is sad,i think it is good to stay far from her, because of job only you can buy gifts for her and you can buy here whatever she wants.It is a mixture of bad and good i suppose friend.I too miss my mom for 6 -9 months because of my studies.It is becoming common thing to all of us because of surviving these days. Have a nice day

Im sorry to hear that. I can relate to you missing your mom. My mom passed away in 1996 when I was just in elementary school so I havent seen her in 13 years. I can relate to you missing your mom as I still miss mine very much.

I am really sorry to here that. For me, I am a senior in a university now, but this university is not very far from my home, it will take me four to six hours to get home. However, I go home only when in the summer vacation and the winter vacation. And now it is summer vacation, but I have an intership here, so I cannot go home, I really miss my mom. Have a nice day!

I too sadly had been in the same situation as you, After i finish studying abroad I was immediately offered a job with great benefits, and a great income for some one my age so I didn't want to turn down the offer even my mom told me to take the job as it was great. my mom used to fly out every month to come visit me, then she couldn't come anymore after 3 visits. My mom has a blood condition which often makes her very ill to travel and is often not advised by doctors, but she still came to visit me and i love her much for doing so. So when this mothers day arrived i flew back to surprise her and surprise she was. She was so happy to see me and i came bearing her favorite perfume and some other stuffs such as scented candles. before that mothers day i hadn't seen her for 9 months and already was i missing her dearly, if 9 months was hard for me, I can only imagine how hard 2 years has been for you. I empathize greatly for you and I'm sure your mom will love your surprise visit. Good luck, and hang in there!

I love my mom - Mom is loveable always
I love my mom so much that's why I never stay away from my mom, during my college programme I had gone to study at CANADA but I cant stay happily there with out my mom because I am very home sick person so I thought I should come back again to India and now I am with my mom and we are spending our time so happily.

like you, i also miss my mom so much! the last time i saw her was December last year when my husband and i have our vacation there... i really miss her and wanted to be always with her...but like you, that can't be possible. My husband's work is here and so i have to be with my husband...i am just thankful that my mom understands that...what i just do now is keep on communicating with her, call her, text her...anything coz when we do that we feel like we are just near with each other! by the way there are times that we also do chat on line! but that's just very rare coz she don't know how to do that, she always needs someone's help in order for her to chat with me and she said that she's not comfortable chatting coz it gives her a headache! hehehe but anyway, as long as we communicate with each other often, the feeling of being far with each other and the sadness it brings is lessen and now i am again excited coz by november of december i am having a vacation again in her place! and every day and moment i am there, i cherish those moments and make sure that i can spend quality time with my parents and my brother! in your case, i think you should really have time visiting your mom...even once in a while, by the way where is the province of your mom? i know your mom will understand why you can't be with her all the time and she's happy that you are helping them...just keep your communication with them often...a call will do a lot! have a nice day and good luck on your visit to your mom! and advance happy birthday to her! cheers!

Yes, I'm also seperated with my mother too, and I do miss her all the time. I'm out for work, and she is stay at home. I always hold the opinion that feeling between kids and parents is the greatest feeling in the world. The love is pure, infinite, and dedicated. And it's the original feeling in the world. I do love my father and mother very much, and hope they live better life all the time.

Oh, you made me emotional. My mother is the only person without whome i cant live. I love her a lot, but next month i am going abroad for higher studies so i cant meet my mother for next 3 years. I dont know how painfull it would be but i will surely miss her a lot.

everybody have his owned missing relation,including me too,i left my home and work in city for several years now,i often see them at festival,because i work at service profession and don't come home with them at festival,when i see them,the festival have past,there is very important for me to be with my family,although i am not very susseccful at my work,but my parents can give my comfort and cre for me.the materal life is important,but moral strength is as important as materal life.there is few people who can give me support and care,my parents love for me is real,become my harbor,so i miss them too,i find i am happy with my family,whatever i do and work,this could not prevent my memory to my parents

Hey, Mother is the most wonderful person one can get to see in one's life. I believe that there is no mom who is selfish and harsh to her children. She is a mountain of love, courtesy and affection. I can never think myself without my mom. When I stayed far away from her, on my job, I could feel her love so strong that I used to pulled to see her every 4 months atleast. Ultimately, I decided to be beside her. At my age of 41 even to this day, I am her baby and I still feel dependant on her, as I take decisions on small matters too, after I talk to her. I can imagine the feelings you may have, having missed her warmth since two years. I wish you enjoy every moment with her when you stay with her. I am sure she will be thrilled with the great gift which you are planning to give her. Good luck to you and your mom. Long live The Mother !!

Hi Rberon, Sorry about that, it is really hard to live away from your loved ones. I remember the feeling when I dont have time to friends and family especially in exams times :( was really bad but I tired to keep in touch but phone calls and chatting doesnt make you feel good, it might sometimes make you miss them more... I wish you see your mom soon :)

i see my mom once in a while when she goes here (i think once every month). still, i miss having her around all the time. i've never been separated from her until i got pregnant with my daughter and had to move somewhere else. from birth thru the first years of working, i lived with her. i'm still getting used to the fact that i can't just shout "mom!" and have her at my side already. so i feel for you. it's really sad when you have to part with your loved ones because of one reason or another. my sisters have families of their own, too, so we all live apart now, and like you, i miss eating with them, talking and updating everyone on everyone's day.

I always missed my mother too. The difference is I am only 1 hour away from her. I'm married and we visited her once a week sometimes we stayed there two or more days. My son enjoyed our stayed there he played with his cousins, my three sisters stay there with my mom. Their husbands work abroad so they decided to live with my mom. I'm happy that we still see each other. Hope you could visit your mother.

I am sorry my friend. I can understand you because I am also going through the same situation. I have been staying with my mom for 23 years of my life. Now, I am married and moved to a different state along with my husband. I have not seen my mom for almost a year and I feel for it a lot. I have to find some time for it, but whenever I plan soemthing or the other will come in between. I have to seriously think about going home. I miss my mom too.

Oh you're so sweet rberon, I hope when my 2 sons grow up (they're 10 and 6 yrs old now) they'll feel for me the way you do to your mom. I hope they don't grow up to be very independent to the extent that they can actually live on their own without thinking of mom. Ok, that's way too melodramatic now... I miss my mother too coz I haven't seen her for 2 years, she lives in California while I'm here in the Philippines. I get to see her when she comes home every other year. But we do keep each other updated as we talk almost every week just to know how each other is doing. Cheers!
