I really can't think of anything I'd like my T to say that he hasn't already said to me... all the things I used to wish he would say but knew I'd never hear have lost their importance as I've worked through a lot of childhood issues in therapy. But I can think of the one thing he said to me a few years ago that still means a great deal to me. I had left therapy for a little over a year, thinking I was more or less done with the hardest part (I wasn't, but I didn't know that at the time) and I wanted to try handling life on my own for awhile. After about a year it became increasingly clear that I had more work to do. So I emailed him to see if he would be willing to see me again, and he wrote "I would be happy to work with you again." I didn't expect him to say no, because he had told me when I left that I could return in the future, although I might not be able to see him twice a week at first, depending on his caseload. But I wasn't expecting him to say he'd be happy to work with me again -- I expected a generic response, something like "Yes, I would be willing to work with you again." It really meant a lot, and it still does, to hear that he would be happy to work with me again.
