Why you should send your loved one a card
Sometimes it can be difficult to stay in touch with our loved ones, especially as life gets busy. Our parents and grandparents tend to suffer the most because they tend not to get out as much as they get older and they miss out on some of life’s most important moments. That’s why it is important to let our loved ones know that we care.
4 reasons why you should send your loved one a card:
- Include pictures of what’s going on in your life
- Just let them know you are simply thinking of them
- Celebrate their birthday
- Plan a future visit
Include pictures of what’s going on in your life
Unfortunately, your loved ones miss out on a lot as they age. But, with technology, it makes it easier for them to look back on moments they weren’t there for. Send a card full of pictures that you may have taken with your smartphone. This will make the card extra special as it will be something they can continuously look back on and smile.
Just let them know you are simply thinking of them
Sometimes it’s just good to know that people are thinking of you. Sending a sweet message to let your loved one know that you miss them or sharing a past memory will surely put a smile on their face. Don’t overlook the little things as sometimes they mean the most.
Celebrate their birthday
Who doesn’t love a good birthday celebration? As we get older, we tend to forget as there is nothing exciting about growing older. But, remembering a birthday is important. You should always let your loved ones know that they are loved and celebrated with each passing day.
Plan a future visit
Do you have something special you want to do next time you stop to see your loved one? Send them a card ahead of time to let them know how excited you are to see them. This will give them something to look forward to, which is sometimes all that matters.
If you never sent a card before, now is a great time to start! Some will say that getting a handwritten letter in the mail is a lost art. No matter what card you choose to send, we believe that it’ll be the first of many.
Always remember that if you don’t feel qualified or able to take care of your loved one, we can help. To learn more about our assisted living, long-term living, or rehabilitation services, be sure to give us a call at (937) 319-8924.
