Living far from my kids is incredibly tough. Every day feels like a piece of my heart is missing. I miss their laughter, hugs, and even their little messes. The distance makes me feel helpless, especially when they need me and I can’t be there.

One of the hardest things is missing out on their daily lives. I want to be there for their milestones, school events, and everyday moments. Video calls help, but they can’t replace the warmth of being there in person.

Another challenge is the guilt. I often wonder if I’m doing enough as a mom. Balancing my life here while staying connected with them is tough. I send little notes and surprise gifts to remind them I’m always thinking of them.

Despite the distance, I make the most of our time together. When we reunite, I make every moment special, creating new memories and cherishing our time.

Being away from my kids is a constant emotional struggle, but it makes me value every moment with them even more.

Sincerely,
JULIA 💓💓💓
