@girlnextdoor If your question is still relevant here's a small list.
contact them regularly
send them hand written letters, this shows thought, time and love.
remind them how much you love them
send them regular videos of where you are, share your experiences with them
when you do get the time and money, make a small trip home and spend a few days. Yes, it can be costly but it's probably the best thing for all of you. Or get them to you and spend some 1 on 2 time with them.
I hope this helps. I've been in your predicament before, so this is the stuff that worked for me.
Much Love, hope to hear about your experiences in the world.
From, a Stranger.
