(I actually sent this one to my therapist this morning!)

Dear T,

Thank you for sharing 2 seconds of raw emotion with me today. Unfortunately, I wasn't looking at you so I missed it!! Maybe I didn't really see it, but I felt it. The connection to a real person with 'real' feelings. Wow~ that was something! I even felt that we might actually exchange a teenie tiny hug, but I respected your boundaries and did not do that.

I do appreciate you allowing yourself to FEEL something! It made me not feel like a sappy wimp that I even gave those notes to you. Those were not actually supposed to given to our therapists. The thread that I started online was to write about things we "wanted to share with our therapists, but couldn't." We couldn't because we would die of embarrassment or think that our therapists would drop us like a hot potato if they knew what we were really thinking!

Not sure why I felt to do that today, but I did. I hope that in some small way, you were able to see just how much you give to others, and what a life changing 'ministry' you have. When I first came to you, I was in such a pit of despair that I could not see any way out. Thank God, you didn't give up on me and I am on my way to a much better place.

Thank you again for allowing God to use you in such a mighty way. I will try to act right and not be ugly, but I cannot guarantee that. I never know how I am going to be from one session to the next. If I do get ugly, please remember what I said in the letters you read today and what I am saying here.

Okay, I am done with the sappy stuff.
