I remember how you stayed late to help me finish that proposal and never made a fuss about it. I am thinking of you, and I hope you are feeling better.
We are trying to run things the way you would. It is not as good without you. Come back whenever you are ready, and not before.
You were the one who told us to take care of ourselves when we were run down. We are returning the favor. I hope you are looking after yourself.
You have always had our backs, so we wanted you to know we have yours. Everything is steady here. We hope you are feeling better every day.
The weekly meeting is quieter without you, and so is the floor. We are all thinking of you, and hoping you are comfortable at home.
I hope you are comfortable and that you have someone bringing you tea and a good show to watch. We are all pulling for you.

How to write it
Keep a get well message for boss short and kind: wish them a good recovery, assure them work is covered, and sign it from the whole team. A manager who is unwell may still worry about the team. Keep it brief. A card can help them let go for a while. It says the group is fine, that you are thinking of them, and that they should come back only when they are ready.
You do not need to be close to send one. Respectful and sincere is the right tone, with no teasing and no questions about when they will be back. A few short lines from different people can feel more personal than a single polished message. We print your note in a handwriting-style font and mail it, from $2.
- Be respectful, but let your own warmth show. One line of real appreciation goes a long way.
- Tell them the team has things in hand, once. Then avoid any mention of deadlines or open questions.
- Do not ask what the illness is or when they will return. They will share what they choose.
- If the card is from the team, have people add short lines. A boss will recognize each voice.
- Mail it to their home so they can read it in private, away from the office and any meeting.

Questions people ask
Is it appropriate to send my boss a get well card?
Yes. A short, respectful card from you or from the team is a kind gesture. Keep it warm and sincere and avoid talk of deadlines. Cards print in a handwriting-style font, and you see a preview before you pay.
Can the team each send their own card?
You can. A list of up to 400 addresses works, and cards cost $1.75 each from 10 and $1.50 each from 50. For one boss, a single card from the group at $2 with postage included is often the nicest.
