Thanks guys for the hugs and words of support. I am planning to give her a handmade gift (a certain artsy crafty thing I do sometimes, but too specific to list w/o possibly identifying myself). I gave her something like it just before she went on maternity leave last summer. And I haven't asked yet about emails, though I think (hope!) she'll say yes. That's what I do with my old T and old dietitian- update emails about once a year, sometimes with a picture (like when I finally ran and completed my first half marathon). And you're right that she'll always be a part of me. She and I talked about that, and she said we don't have to talk to have a connection and that she hopes I take her with me when I move. That I pack her up and keep her in my pocket and take her out when I need her, lol. Thanks again
