wishes
Desires not demands
Wishes is the plural of wish—desires or hopes for something, especially things beyond one's immediate power to obtain: She kept her wishes to herself.
Wishes often appear in greetings and blessings: best wishes, birthday wishes, get-well wishes.
To send warm wishes is to express goodwill.
The verb form means to want or hope: He wishes he'd studied harder.
