Questions
What do you write in a retirement card for your mum?
Your mum retiring is a milestone worth marking warmly — thank her for a working life and wish her the rest and fun she's earned. 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.
