Anyone speak (write) French?

I usually sign off messages to friends with xx and I want to do the same to my SIL. I don't text often with her as my French is atrocious but she's in hospital at the moment and I don't know how to finish my text. Help!

She'll find out tomorrow if she's lost mobility in her ankle/foot after a back injury so I really don't want to say the wrong thing.

If you are friendly with her you could put bisous (kisses) or je t’embrasse (sending kisses) if you’re more formal try amitiés or amicablement (sending friendship or warm regards)
I hope that helps!

You could also put de tout cœur avec toi (thinking of you)

My dad calls me mon petit choufleur (don't do that 😂), it means my little cauliflower.

Amicalement NOT amicablement

"Xx" would be "biz"
