Farewell messages for a friend
A useful farewell note can hold both sadness and excitement. Recall one thing you will miss, then make a specific plan for a call, visit, or shared weekend.
Tips for saying goodbye to a friend
- Promise to stay in touch and schedule future visits.
- Recall the moments that bonded your friendship.
- Wish them luck with something specific, such as the move, a new job, or finding a local café.
Example messages
“I am going to miss our Thursday noodles and the walks home afterward. Good luck settling into Bristol, and keep the first weekend in November free for a visit.”
“Who is going to tell me which train to catch now, Casey? I hope the move goes smoothly and your new flat has room for one very frequent guest.”
“We will miss your Sunday dinners, Lina. Send us your new address once the boxes are unpacked, and we will plan the first group visit.”
