One of the realities of life is that there will come a day when someone you know will get sick. Beyond a personal visit, a cheerful get-well message goes a long way toward brightening their recovery. An e-card might be perfect for someone who is tech savvy, but a handwritten message can show how much you really care. Don't let the idea not knowing what to say stand in your way. With a few simple steps and tips, you'll be able to craft a sincere and uplifting message.
Instructions
1. Practice writing your message on scrap paper or your computer. If you only have one card, then you only have one chance to write out your message correctly. If you are using your stationary, practice will still help you get the wording right and not waste paper.
2. Let the recipient know you are thinking of him. To see it written out can mean a lot to someone who is ailing.
3. Find an inspirational or funny quote to include in your message. Perhaps the person you're writing to has a hero who can provide words of recovery motivation. You can also use witticisms from anyone. If the person is more spiritual, a Bible passage could also bring comfort.
4. Include an invitation to lunch or dinner once the recipient has recovered. This will give him something to look forward to. If appropriate, offer any assistance like watering plants or feeding fish.
5. Write your message inside the card or on the stationary, and be sure to sign it. Find out where the person you're writing to will be recovering, if you will be mailing the card.
