9 years is a long time. I'm sure this must be hard for you and you will miss him.

What about something inspirational or that shows your gratitude? Maybe something framed to hang in his office?

My T has a framed seascape with "Relax" written in a flowing, relaxing font across the bottom.

Or, at an art fest recently, I saw a framed pic that had at the side "It is okay to look at the past, and at the future.... just don't stare! Live NOW!"

Good luck and let us know what you find!
