How can I show my mom how much I appreciate her?

r/

As a kid my mom and I were best friends, but life took a toll on both of us. We grew apart and become a estranged from one another. Now that I am 24 years old and living back at home, it’s just the two of us and it’s not hard to tell that the both of us are desperately trying to learn each other all over again.
In the past there were a lot of things that I didn’t quite understand and I was living in my own pain all the while consistently reminding her that I was unhappy and misplacing unnecessary blame on her not realizing how ungrateful and vicious the words I spoke to her were and how that would affect us both in the future.
As an adult I’m starting to realize just how much trama I’ve caused her. Lord knows I would do anything to take it all back but since I can’t, I’m just looking for any advice that anyone can share on how I could possibly begin to apologize for everything and maybe even heal the wounds I caused so that we can mend our relationship into something more beautiful than it ever was.
I love my mother with all my heart and it kills me to know that I’m the one responsible for a lot of her and happiness. I just want to make it up to her show her that she’s appreciated and make her understand that she is and always has been more than enough.
Please help me to help her heal!
