You have great instincts about what a loved one needs to thrive. Although they may insist on being left alone, they really want you to approach. Take time out of your busy schedule to organise a special surprise for them. At first, they'll pretend to be put out by your loving gesture. Don't be put off. Gradually, they'll let down their guard and thank you for your kindness and consideration. It's often difficult to help a self-sufficient individual. That doesn't mean they're unworthy of assistance.
