Wishing you a retirement filled with the kind of small daily good things the job didn't leave room for.

Happy retirement. The career was a chapter. The retirement is the long, slow, beautiful coda.

Congratulations on retiring. The next month will feel strange. The second month will feel correct. By month three, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Wishing you a peaceful retirement and a phone that only rings when you want it to.

Happy retirement to a colleague who has been the quiet steady presence this team has counted on.

Congrats. The team will figure things out without you. We won't enjoy it. Mostly.
