To a parent

Papa, every opportunity I've had was bought with your years of quiet, uncomplaining work. I don't think you ever realised how much we noticed. Now it's your turn - slower mornings, your own time, zero alarms. You've earned every minute of it. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

To a colleague/mentor

It's hard to imagine this place without you in it. You set the standard the rest of us quietly tried to match. Thank you for the patience, the wisdom, and the example. Enjoy this next chapter - you've more than earned the rest. Congratulations on your retirement.

To a friend

Decades of early mornings, and now the time is finally, fully yours. Fill it with all the things work kept squeezing out. You've more than earned the slow mornings and the long lunches. Here's to your next chapter.
