About the Thinking of You set:  Each design pictures delightful images of flowers, balloons, adorable animals, tasty desserts, symbols of good luck, and more.  Each stamp includes digital illustrations with a bright, cheery color palette.  They were issued especially for use on feel-good letters and cards mailed to friends and loved ones.

History the stamp represents:  Missing someone is something that everyone will experience in their lifetime.  Parents miss their children when they leave home.  Friends are missed when students go separate ways.  Sometimes a person can be missed as soon as they walk out the door.

“I miss you,” might be uttered a million times in life, but fall short in truly expressing the feelings behind the phrase.  There are many ways to let someone known how deeply their presence is missed.  Some examples include – “I can’t stop thinking about you” or “I long to be with you.”  In France, when two people miss one another they say, “Tu me manques,” which translates to English as “you are missing from me.”  This sentiment might sound odd to English speakers, but much more clearly offers the feelings behind “I miss you.”  It suggests that only together is the couple complete.

Many relationships and friendships were forced apart during the COVID-19 pandemic.  In 2023, though life without quarantine had resumed, the impact of being alone was still felt.  So the USPS issued five Thinking of You stamps – an imaginative way to reach out to loved ones.  A way to say “I miss you,” “my life is empty without you,” or “you are missing from me.”
