Miss-you note. The dog keeps looking at the door. I get it.
New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
I miss you. The next time we're in the same room, I'm not letting you out of it for a while.
Thinking about you. The streetlights, the song on the radio, the way the wind sounded — all of it tonight reminded me of you.
I miss you. The cup, the chair, the side of the bed — all the small empty things.
Miss-you wish. The countdown to seeing you again is somehow both fast and impossibly slow.
I miss you. The night is fine. The mornings are when it's loudest.

Thinking of you. Sending warmth from across whatever distance is between us.
I miss you. The kind of love that hurts a little when it's quiet, because the quiet is full of you.
Miss-you note. The book I'm reading would make you laugh. The movie on tonight would make you cry. I want to watch both with you.
I miss you. Not in a way that requires fixing — just in a way that wants to be felt.
Thinking of you tonight. The hours apart feel longer than they are.
I miss you. The day was good. The day would have been better with you in it.
Miss-you wish, simple version: come back when you can. The light is on. The chair is yours. The space hasn't moved.
Thinking of you this Thanksgiving. Grief and gratitude share the same table this year. Both are allowed to be there.
Wishing you a gentle Thanksgiving. The empty chair is a real thing. So is the love that put a person in it for so long.
Thanksgiving thoughts for the friend who is missing someone this year. The day will be hard. You don't have to pretend otherwise.
Holding you in mind this Thanksgiving. The first one without them is its own kind of ache. There's no script.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving with people who let you be exactly as quiet, as tearful, or as okay as you need to be.
Thanksgiving wish: that the memories you carry of your loved one feel close today, not just sharp.
Sending you love this Thanksgiving. Whatever the day looks like, you're not facing it alone.
Thinking of you. The day asks for gratitude. You're allowed to feel both grief and a little of it, at the same time.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving where the love around you holds the weight you can't quite hold today.
Thanksgiving thoughts. The seat at the table they used to sit in is empty. The seat in your heart they hold is not.
Sending warmth. The first holidays after a loss are the hardest. The second ones are not easier — they're just different. I'm thinking of you through both.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving with people who knew your loved one too. Sharing the memory is sometimes the whole comfort.
