When I took a break, T and I had a semi-last-time-session. It felt like it, anyhow. We told each other how much our work has meant, how much we care for and love each other. T told me there will always be a "tree-sized space" in his office and in his heart. I cried and we talked about how we felt sad, and would miss each other.

I do tell T sometimes (not just when I'm taking a break! ) how much he means and therapy means to me. I don't feel like I have to wait until the end...and I do it with my friends and family too. Years ago, I heard Maria Shriver say that she had lost so many people in her life that she learned that she has to tell people NOW how she feels about them and that she always tells her friends and family that she loves them every time they hang up the phone. That kind of stuck with me, and I do tell the people I love that I love them quite often. Because I do, and I want them to know that they are loved.

I think it's great that you want to tell your T those things, Rainbow.
