I got a call from T1 today. I called her over the weekend and left a message to see about getting a possible appointment or to talk about my issue with T2 and tardiness.

When she called me she wanted to know what was going on so I gave her the readers digest version. She gave me some useful advice (much of what I've read in the responses to my post). It was like I was in her office and a day hadn't passed since we last talked. I then felt better about things (I have a plan of action for T2 on Thursday) and I will see how things go this Thursday.

T1 then asked me how I was as she hasn't seen me around for a while (we live in a small town and ironically when I'm out biking or running I see her but she doesn't seem to know it's me with all the gear on etc..). I told her I was running my first marathon this November with a few other local ladies and it's their first marathon as well. I also told her I'm running my second half marathon this September. She said in a very genuine tone: "I am soooo proud of you".

After my phone call I had to run an errand and while I was driving I started to cry. Crying for the love and caring I felt from T. I hope and wish everyone has that feeling at one point in their life from someone. Especially those such as myself who never had that feeling as a child.

Even though T1 isn't my T these days she will always be special to me and I feel that she always has my back. I feel like I can always call her like I did most recently. I look up to her. She's like a mom to me. The mom I never had. I love her so much.

I feel so lucky and I wish everyone finds that T they connect with and feel like they are 100% on their side and has there back.
