When you really miss someone, you can't go wrong speaking from the heart. If words don't come easy, here are some ideas to inspire you to create your own message:
After your initial salutation, try leading with the main point of your message. Lead-ins like these get straight to the heart of the matter:
- "I've been missing you."
- "It's been too long."
- "We're going to miss you when you're gone."
- "I wish you weren't going away."
Follow up with how the person has impacted you. Here's a little help if you need it:
- "You've made such a difference in my life."
- "The time we've spent together has been nothing short of amazing."
- "I've never met anyone else like you."
- "We consider you a part of the family."
End with a tender sentiment or an amusing quip, such as one of these phrases:
- "Things just aren't the same / Won't be the same without you."
- "I hope I can see you again soon."
- "May your doorknobs never stick."
- "You'll be back. You can't live without me."
