Keep Visits Short

Yes, this applies to you, too! Friends recovering from surgery, cancer treatments, the birth of a new baby, or a major illness need rest. Visits, even with the best of friends, can be more exhausting than most people realize. At the beginning of your visit, let your friend know how long you intend to stay, and then stay true to your word. And be sure to go back to visit again soon.

Keep your messages short, too!

Your friend is probably checking this blog often - so new messages appearing frequently will be more uplifting than super long messages. Drop by the blog often to add new comments.
