What are some ways to cheer up your beau during an illness?

Cupid’s Advice:

1. Bring him a book/movie: While your beau may own countless movies and an alarming amount of literature, bring him something new.  He has a lot of time to kill, and a book or movie is relaxing and entertaining.

2. Make breakfast in bed: Breakfast in bed never fails.  If he has medicine, serve the pills as a side dish.  If he’s not coughing too much, you may even get a laugh out of him.

3. Visit him: While movies, books, and his cell phone may keep him connected to the outside world, they are no substitute for a face-to-face visit.  Visit him  It’s an easy way to show him that you care.
