What to write in a retirement card for your dad
A retiring dad doesn't always want a fuss, so keep it warm and a little understated — thank him for the graft and wish him the good stuff ahead.
Happy retirement, Dad. After all those early starts, you've earned a lifetime of lie-ins. Enjoy every one.

Questions
What do you write in a retirement card for your dad?
A retiring dad doesn't always want a fuss, so keep it warm and a little understated — thank him for the graft and wish him the good stuff ahead. The strongest messages name one specific, true thing about them and say plainly how you feel — keep it short and it lands harder.
How long should a retirement message be?
One to three sentences is plenty. A short, specific line beats a long, generic paragraph — people remember the detail, not the word count.
