How to Personalize Your Message

Begin with one wish above, then add a concrete memory. Name the recipe she made when you were sick, the advice she gave before your first job, or the joke she told until everyone knew the ending. Specific details help a short message feel sincere.

Match the message to where it will appear. A private journal can hold raw feelings. A public caption may be shorter and centered on one memory. If you are sharing the day with family, invite others to tell one story each instead of asking everyone to make a formal speech.
