What to Write in a Get Well Card
Giving a get well card is a great way to help an ill or injured person recover easier if not more quickly. Figuring out what to write can be a challenge. Many cards come with impersonal messages, and those messages may be inadequate in expressing what needs to be said.
In any case, use the following examples to find inspiration without working up too much perspiration. Change one to fit the person or improve upon one with some personal details. Write something so good that your friend or family member will truly get well now.
