I remember being a small child and finding flowers in the back yard to give to my mom.

I still love my parents but there is so much standing between us now.

I want them to know much they mean to me but I'm always on guard around them.

It hurts.

In little moments let them know, nothing spectacular, just a little hint here and there, in a way that only they could understand, and the message you wish to convey will be delivered to them. For example a simple genuine smile, or a kind gesture, getting them something like coffee and donuts or whatever they like. May there be healing around the corner for you.
