Lastly, I asked her a question that came to my mind following my last session. I told her I was thankful for her this Thanksgiving, and she replied that she was thankful for me also. I asked her why she would be thankful for me besides the fact that I am a source of income. She looked shocked and said, "Is that what you actually thought; that that's all you are to me?" I said yes. She said, "I've always been thankful for you. You are a precious human being. You have challenged me, taught me lessons I needed to learn, you've accepted me for who I am (then she choked up). I am honored by you! You've been so generous to me and you're very kind to me. I am grateful for those things, and those things are you."
