Yes, totally.
T has written me little notes to take on vacation, or over hard weekends earlier in therapy. He has a bowl of marbles in his office, and I have a few of those. He gave me his pen once (but I lost it ACK). Right now, I have a little animal totem that he keeps on his desk. It's not mine to keep, but it's mine to hold for right now.
I went through such a phase at one point of asking for his stuff that we joked I'd be walking around town with his lamp under my arm
It is okay to ask for something that you need. I think a written note from T would be a really nice thing to have as you transition to your new home. Something tangible to hang on to. I love that idea.
