  • Happy New Year, Dad. I was thinking about those rainy afternoons when you'd pull out a board game and let me win just enough to keep playing. Thanks for those.

  • Happy New Year, Mom and Dad. It's frosty and bright here today, and it made me think of the old house in winter, with the windows steamed up and something warm on the stove. I still think of it as home. I hope your new year starts just as cozy.

  • Happy International Day of Older Persons, Dad. I still remember the first time I cooked dinner alone, and you sat at the table pretending not to watch me burn the rice. You ate every bite and said it was great. I never forgot how that felt.

  • Happy International Day of Older Persons, Dad. The air here smells like autumn today, and it reminded me of your kitchen when the stew was simmering and the windows were all fogged up. I'd love to be there again soon. Thanks for being such a good dad.

  • Happy Thanksgiving, Dad. I've been thinking about you this week, and about how you always told me to put a little away whenever I could. I still do it, and it's made things calmer for me. I hope your day is relaxed and that you get to enjoy a good meal with people you love. I'm grateful for everything you taught me. I'll call you tonight.

  • Happy Thanksgiving, Dad. I still think about the meal you cooked last year, how hard you worked and how happy everyone looked around the table. I'm proud to be your kid.

  • Happy Grandparents Day, Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you for telling me to put a little aside from every paycheck, even when it felt like barely anything. I still do it, and it has made my life so much easier. I'm grateful you taught me that.

  • Happy Grandparents Day, Grandma and Grandpa. I'm looking forward to my next visit, when I'll try to keep up with your walk around the block. Fair warning: I'll need a snack halfway. Love you both.

How to write your own

  • Mention a tradition you cherish, like a family recipe, a song or the way the house looks.
  • Wish them a warm, happy season in plain, friendly words.
  • Address Mom and Dad or Grandma and Grandpa together if the message is for both.
  • If you cannot be there, say you will be thinking of them at the table.
  • Keep the tone cheerful and relaxed instead of formal.
