fond farewell
Warm parting words
A fond farewell is a warm, affectionate goodbye—one that conveys genuine care or sentiment toward the person or thing being left behind.
The phrase often appears when someone departs a job, place, or phase of life with positive feelings: She bid a fond farewell to her colleagues after twenty years.
It can also be used ironically when parting with something unwanted: I bid fond farewell to my old clunker.
