Hello Anon 'I'll miss you' is a general prediction. 'I'll be missing you' is used to make the sentiment seem more vivid: we usually use progressive tenses to emphasize the process, rather than the action/state as a whole. MrP

Absolutely, MrP, but don't you find this particular instance of the continuous odd? -- Even at the most romantic of partings, I always say tearfully, 'I'll miss you!'

Hello MM
Yes, I do find it odd. 75,000 googles; but if you subtract Puff Daddy, Sting, ringtones, and related references, only 15,000 or so remain.
I'm reminded of 'I'll be seeing you'. In idle moments, I wonder whether that's the template.
