congratulations
every thank-you we never said out loud.
the jar is still overflowing.
you made monday mornings bearable.
— everyone, honestly
you never once said "that's not my job."
— the whole team
your tiffin was everyone's tiffin.
— the lunch table
you taught us how. and why. and patience.
— all your juniors
the place won't run the same. it'll just run.
— the boss, quietly
thank you for showing up. every single day.
— us
happy retirement,
34 years of showing up. now go do nothing, beautifully.
— with love, from all of us
