I moved to another country and not live near my mom anymore. While we lived together, we had a good relationship, she loved my very very much, I tried to be great to her too. But now, from the distance, somehow I feel that I could be much better! And I want to make her know how much I really love her, respect her, make her happy..I have a lot of feeling which I would like to share with her showing her how great she was and she is, how greatfull I am to have her in my life..But words are not enough. It sounds too..empty, patetic...

I'm guessing you and your mother live pretty far away from each other now, so it's nothing like a walking distance or any type. To show my appriciation, I would send her some of her favourite cookies or sweets, and some nice clothing that you think she would like. But really, nothing more is better than just telling your mother how much you love her. You can write her a long letter expressing how much you appriciate everything she has ever done for you and how much you lover her and such. Or better yet, if you have a chance to do so, surprise her by flying into her country and visiting her. That would make any mother happy.

Write her a long letter telling her about how all the things that the two of you used to do and talk about have shaped you into the person you are today! Tell her that without her guidance you would be nothing, just another lost soul in an empty world. Tell her she brought Joy, Happiness and Color into the world. Then prove it by always being the best you can be!
If you still have a gift that she gave you as a child, one that was very dear to you, send it to her to let her know that she is very dear to you too.

How about making her some kind of journal/scrapbook? You could include pictures (photos if you have them, postcards, pics from magazines, etc) and write about things that you remember that she did for you as a child or things you did together such as vacations, picnics, sports teams, or anything else that made you feel special. You could start from when you were young and go up until the present time. For the present, you can include things that you currently do that she doesn't get to see. Postcards from your new country, newspaper articles, pics with your friends and stories from your daily life, and things you see now that remind you of her. That way, when she misses you, she can take out the book and be reminded of how much she means to you and get to see you when you're not there. It doesn't matter how creative you are, just that you cared enough to do something personal for her. Good luck and God bless.

Words will be enough for her. Talk to her, tell her how you feel. About everything, but especially about her. Doing so is sharing your life with her, letting her enjoy the person you are. She'll be happier than she was before you called. (lol unless you're calling to get her to post bail) ESPECIALLY from a distance! You're far away, but thinking about HER. an example: When I was 10, I went to expo86 with my father and stepmother. My mother jokingly asked me to bring her something. I thought her reaction was disappointment when I bought, and gave her a small souvenier change pouch. She passed away not too long ago, and while cleaning out her home, I came across her "keepsake" box. In it was that change purse, and every coin i'd put in there with it. Her reaction had been love, not disappointment. Her 10 year old boy had spent his own money on something he bought just for her. For 19 years she kept it because it was a little thing to most, but meant everything to her.
Whatever you do to show her your love is enough. The only pitfall is not doing it. Tell her, call her, whatever. Not doing it will guarantee that when she does pass on, you'll be left with regrets about things you should have said, but now never will.

The words will always look empty to you as what you feel is beyond what you can express through words.
But that does not mean you do not tell your mom how much you love and care for her, so you must say when ever you get chance.
Send her flowers or other little things regularly that can touch her heart.
Though the biggest gift that you can give her is your time when ever you can and show utmost respect.

My brother actually lives in Australia, We are in the US in Ohio. He has similar feelings because even though we were extremely close when we are together, sometimes the distance seems to take its toll. The one thing that he did was send her flowers. Not for any occassion, but just one random week he sent her a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The card just said something about...I was thinking about how and I miss you guys. The thing was that he never even mentioned that something was on its way or anything, the flowers were just there one day. My mom was totally shocked and it made her year!

Mothers are like all women; they want to hear the words. Words may not be enough to you, but they are everything to her. Let her know you are grateful and that you think of her. Send her pictures and letters. She will treasure them. She will love any gift you send her, as well. Mothers are like that.

The best way you can show your parents how much you love them is to be a good person. That's all they want for you is to be Good and Kind. It lets them know all that work wasn't for nothing! :)

Arrange a spa basket for her. Scented candles, bubble bath, bath oils, bath salts, lotions, facial, nice book, relaxing cd, things like that. Send it to her with a little note letting her know how you miss her.
