You miss your friend/relative. Of course it's okay to mention that once in a while: we all want to know that someone misses us. Based on my experience so far and what I've read, these are good ideas:
- let your friend/relative know what's going on in your life but don't dwell on negatives
- share good and exciting news
- don't shield him from everything bad at home, but don't burden him with things he can't change
- ask what's new and exciting in her life
- listen
- be happy that he's making new friends
- don't be jealous
- mostly, let her know that, while life at home is going on, there will still be a place for her when she returns
