Does anybody feel as heartsick as I do about being far away from their children? Not just on Mother’s Day, but every day I feel this longing. And visits aren’t enough.

Am thinking about the difference between kids and parents, since kids who move away from parents they love are deprived, too. So how can kids leave? (I left.) I think it’s that kids are about separating from parents in order to be their own people, but a mom never separates from her child.

Anybody got anything that’s helped them?
