Mother's Day is one of those dates that most stirs emotions, especially when you're away from home. For many migrants, this day is full of nostalgia, memories and, at times, a sense of guilt for not being able to be physically with that special figure.
However, distance doesn't have to translate into oblivion. On the contrary: it can be the perfect opportunity to demonstrate love in a different, more conscious and profound way.
At Retorna, we know what it means to be far away. For this reason, we want to help you so that this Mother's Day does not go unnoticed, and that, despite the kilometers, you continue to be present.
The Emotional Weight of Distance
Living away from home isn't just about changing countries. It's leaving home-cooked meals, family plans, conversations over a cup of coffee, and yes, also celebrations like this. Mother's Day can often cause sadness, especially if you can't make a video call due to the time difference or if work doesn't allow it; but it's also true that every effort you make from outside has a reason: to improve the lives of your loved ones. And that, in itself, is already an immense sign of love.
Ways to celebrate Mother's Day from afar
1. A shipment with a lot of love
A gesture that never fails is to send money so that your mom can enjoy her day the way she likes best. With Retorna, you can make transfers in minutes, securely and from wherever you are. Either to give herself a treat, to invite her to eat or to cover a need.
2. A special video call
Even if it seems simple, a call in time and calm, where you can talk to her, tell anecdotes and share memories, can be invaluable. You can prepare it in advance: find a quiet place, think about what you want to say and let her feel how important it is still for you.
3. A personalized gift
Nowadays it is possible to order flowers, a dessert, or even a surprise breakfast from your country to be delivered to the house where your mother lives. If you know a place in your home country, contact them in advance and send them a special gift.
4. Write a letter or video message
Even if we have WhatsApp and social networks, few things are as exciting as a message made with the heart. You can write him a letter or record a video telling him what he means to you or thanking him for everything he has done for you.
