Would love advice from Muslims.
I moved into an apartment 6 months ago, right next door to my boyfriend's Muslim coworker. Ex-coworker now, but my boyfriend really liked him and I feel bad for not making a better effort to meet and talk. There aren't many Muslims in my town, probably 20 or fewer based on this guy's own estimation. No mosque or center or anything. I wanted to get him something for Eid to be kind, but I have very little money and it's very near. To make things worse, I haven't got to meet him like we planned.
So I thought I'd get a small gift and/or a handwritten card in which I express my regret that I haven't reached out for coffee and a discussion about great nihilist authors (his favorite before and still after his reversion), and say I hope he and his sons are well. Is that weird or would it be a nice gesture? What should I say about the holiday/what is an appropriate way for a non-Muslim to give well wishes? He got back from settling his father's estate in Palestine a few months ago and I don't want to add stress, just say "hey sorry we haven't met up, I still want to try your coffee and chat, ps your sons are very good young men and also hope Ramadan was good and your Eid al-Fitr is good too." But less brusque without also being too stiff. Never wrote a neighbor a letter before.
TL;DR white bitch wants to be nice to Muslim neighbor on Eid, what do?
