the card sounds like a great idea.

our t was gone for over 3 weeks so it ended up being about 4 weeks between sessions...she went to s florida to visit her parents just as the hurricanes were heating up. so we left her a message asking if florida had put up signs telling her she was no longer allowed in state since she was bad for tourism there...no storms or anything all summer until she crossed state borders. and then continued on with does alaska and other snow states ban her due to avalanche dangers? cruises due to poiseden "morning after movie " disasters, islands for tsunamis, etc?

we got around the kid peep thing by having them ask her to send them a post card while she was away...which she did. they put it up on the fridge which is where it will sit probably for the next 90 years or so.

surprisingly we did well while she was away...no sadness, mishaps or anything..especially since we covered some primal memories in the weeks right before she left. actually feel stronger and calmer...i think the time away from t gave us time to sort of come to peace with everything on oiur own and let things settle...you know sometimes after you rehash these crappy memories you just have to let them sort of sift thru everyone and then make peace with them.

anyway...t said she enjoyed the message..so much so that her teenage daughter shot her a dirty look when she burst out laughing while listening to it in public on her cellphone. good...good to embarass t ...got to keep them humble!
