Wow, thanks for all the encouragement! I don't think I'll chicken out, I'm actually very excited to take it in and show it to T today. It's rather large (20"x32") - I have it folded in half, and I'll have to carry it to T in a trash bag, so T will notice it as soon as she opens her door to let me in! So I imagine we'll dive right in with it at the beginning.

I had some other things I wanted to discuss, but those can wait - I really want to watch T as she looks it over, which may take awhile, since it's so big! But I do wonder what T's reaction will be when she sees what my friends and family look like, and I wonder what my reaction will be as I watch her take it all in. Sounds like I'd better be ready for T to ask me how it felt to watch her look at it! I may surprise myself and get emotional, who knows! I'm going to do my best to be open to whatever comes up, and to share that with T. I did tear up a number of times as I was putting the collage together.

I will definitely post later tonight how it goes!
