Moved out with my boyfriend, miss home so much!

My boyfriend and I just rented out an apartment for ourselves and moved in just 2 weeks ago. This is the first time I moved out and away from home. He's lived away from home when away for university so he's used to being away and alone. I, however have missed my mother and home incredibly much! I'm 20(the baby of my siblings) and he's 27. He understands that I miss my mother a lot and why I miss her. My mom had 7 kids, raised them by herself. her first born is now 47 so you can imagine the different change she going thru now that she is alone in her home. I worry for her.

This past weekend my boyfriend noticed I was sad and he asked me "what's wrong? You miss your mom?" I started balling out crying and he held me until I calmed down and reassured me that it's ok to miss home and my mother. I was so humiliated because last thing I want him to think is that he is with a little girl that can't handle being away from mommy 🙄 he also said he understood why I was upset considering the fact that his mother has her husband and 3 other kids living with her and my mother doesn't have anyone with her.

Here is the more humiliating part, my mom is literally 3 minutes away from my house.

I am so humiliated. Is this normal or??? Please help
