Writing a get well card to someone we care about isn’t difficult. It’s easy to choose – and send a card these days. It only takes a little more thought to make it really personal. Don’t limit your card giving to your nearest and dearest. Think of those outside of your immediate circle of friends who might welcome a card. Perhaps there is someone less well known to you that you might like to send a card to. Is there someone in the neighborhood or community who you know is under the weather? One of your social groups might operate a visiting scheme which would be the perfect time to organize a communal card signing. Following these simple steps will make sure that your Get Well Card is well written, sent and received. 1. Of course you want to put their name at the top. If they aren’t a close Ferret Care friend then you may want to be a bit more formal – Mr. Smith etc. Just be respectful. Think what they like to be called and use this in your card. Writing their name inside the top of the card shows that you’ve thought of them as you write it. They’d like to think that the card was chosen specifically for them. Seeing their name at the top adds to this confirmation. 2. The next part is where you mention you’re sorry to hear that they are sick, unwell, or hurt (whatever you choose as appropriate). You want your message to be as cheery as possible. You don’t want to go into specifics, just mention that you send them wishes for a quick recovery, or hope they’ll be back to full health soon. The tone of your message depends on how you know them and the kind of conversations you have had in the past.
