Quick Tips for Writing a Kind Message

• Know your reader. Gentle humour suits someone who is resting and recovering well, not someone in serious pain.
• Joke about the situation (the food, the bed, the boredom), never about the illness itself.
• Add one warm line at the end, such as “Take care of yourself.”
• Keep it short. A single smile is the goal.
• Skip any humour about age, appearance or weakness.
