Get Well Verses, Sayings and Greetings

To quote Flip Wilson "Get well cards have become so humorous that if you don't get sick you're missing half the fun."

Get Well cards are a bittersweet gift. Illnesses are not a bag of laughs, by any stretch of the imagination. But if you know someone who is sick, recovering from being sick, or maybe just feeling a little under the weather and could use some cheering up, what better way to do so than with a nice handmade greeting card?
