what can i do to tell her i love her?

A whole pile of cp hass been happening to her lately mainly involving my ex step father, the divorce is going through but he's being such an are over things. She is so down and is almost ready to stop fighting for whats hers but with encouragement she still is.

We are actually moving in with her at easter for a year so i know she'll be better when she's got some support and the fact that her grandaughter will be there too, but i want to do something now that tells her i'm thinking of her lots. Can't do the obvious flowers (which i know she'd love) because she's not at home and is on the road today at clients office.

Anyone suggest anything?

send a nice text if you can, something she can keep and refer to when she is out and about and needs cheering up

Ask dh/p to have the kids tonight and bring her out for dinner just the two of you?

would love to take her out but she lives two hours away.....

text would be nice but think she might just think it's from him and not read it. he hassles her lots via text and e-mail.

i know when i was going through my marriage breakup, feeling so alone and worthless, my sister brought me a card from clintons, I think the selection was 'me to you'. The verse in the card was a great source of comfort to me. We have never been very free at expressing our feelings verbally, but the verse said them all.Smile

Flowers!
I don't care what anyone says, they make you feel loved, even a tiny bunch. Infact often a smaller bunch because big bunches require vases that you never have!
Or get her a new mobile number, then he can't bother her!
Good Luck, she is lucky to have you for support.

can you ring her office and find out her itenery and have flowers waiting for her ?

my family isn't an "I love you" family but I bought my mum some flowers and thanked her for being my best friend as well as my mum and put I love you on it, it meant the world to her
