Rainbow, I can understand why you wish you had never started this thread, but I think the responses are valid ones. I too wish your T had stuck to her guns and not broken her own boundary as I think - as good as it feels right now to have received more than what you were expecting - it is going to hurt you in the long run. Already your expectations have risen a notch again, which sets you up for more painful diappointment when she replies again and doesn't include an extra line or two.

For your own emotional protection it would be a really good thing for you to discuss this with her next time you see her, even though you will run the risk of losing the privilege of those few extra lines again. I am really sorry she did this, despite your good feelings about it now. She has set you up for more disappointment, and that isn't fair.
