[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the other posters about emailing. If you are really a close friend (and it sounds like you are) then if I were in her shoes I would be disappointed if you didn't share such big news personally. Just because she is struggling doesn't mean that she wouldn't be thrilled for you and want you to call her or (better) tell her in person. [b]Doing that tells her you are important to her. [/b] You could send the same email to tons of people easily, but you can't call or have coffee with them all to share your news. I agree with the poster who said saying "this might be hard for you" sounds condescending (even though you don't mean it that way). It also robs her of her chance to save face if it IS hard for her. Congratulations!![/quote] Oops! I meant "Doing that tells her that [u]she [/u]is important to [u]you[/u]."[/quote]
