Retirement Wishes

A retirement wish goes to the person on their last day at work, on the card the office signs, in the family group on the evening of the farewell, and on the speech at the family dinner. Colleagues write about the years; family writes about what comes next. Say the number of years; it is the whole point.

Questions people ask

What do you write in a retirement card?

Say the number of years, name one thing the person did that others relied on, and wish them something specific for what comes next: the garden, the grandchildren, the travel. Colleagues write about the work; family writes about the mornings they will finally share.

How do you wish a parent on retirement?

Thank them for the years of leaving early and coming home late, and tell them what the family plans to do with the time: breakfasts together, the trip they postponed, the grandchildren. Keep it personal; the office has already made the formal speech.
