i don’t think i’ve ever remembered to pass on a “hi” to anyone
I do it when I’m asked, and sometimes even ask people to say hi/send a hug if I’m with someone and they’re talking to a mutual friend or family member on the phone.
Sometimes you just want to tell them “hey, you matter to me :)” even if we’re both busy or there is no need to catch up on what’s been going on in our lives (and a quick hi is enough).
