Police officers sacrifice their safety and sanity for the good of society. It's a difficult job, and some don't make it to retirement age or stay with it long enough to retire. When an officer does retire, the following examples could be used to wish the officer a happy retirement.

When a coworker or friend takes time off for a maternity leave, it's a nice gesture to wish her well. You can congratulate her for her pregnancy and when she has the baby, but also when she takes maternity leave. It can be difficult to come up with the right words for someone taking time off. These are some ideas for what to write in her card to encourage, reassure, and amuse her.

Recovery is a process that takes time. Even though every day of sobriety is an accomplishment, milestones provide opportunity for others to celebrate with a person in recovery. A person's sobriety anniversary can also be called a sober birthday or recovery anniversary. This could be marked by the last day of use, the day after final relapse, or the day the person decided to get help. 

For someone in in recovery, these clean date anniversaries mark important achievements of sobriety. People in recovery may thank those who've helped them on their journey and reflect ​on their progress. Congratulating someone at these times is one way to be encouraging and inspiring.
