Doctor, the corridors will miss your footsteps. Walk the new ones β€” beaches, trails, hallways at home β€” proudly.

Trade rounds for rambles, charts for chapters, and consults for catnaps. You've more than earned it.

May retirement feel like the cleanest, most honest discharge summary you've ever signed: free to go.

Your career healed many; may your retirement quietly heal the parts of you that gave so much.

From scrubs to sweatpants β€” same dignity, less laundry. Congratulations on a beautifully run practice.

Wishing you a retirement measured not in appointments kept but in afternoons happily wasted.
