But I am truly confused about what would be helpful to you or what I"m supposed to pay attention to. I think that your T's actions are very sweet, but hardly some kind of extraordinary kindness, even for T's. It's not as if she sent you on a free vacation, or comp'd her therapy. It's a gesture that communicates caring, but that can also be communicated verbally. I think that I would probably find such a card as over the top and weird, but I'm not really a sentimental person.
I wasn't fishing for anything. Random people online can't give me that kind of validation. My heart was overflowing with gratitude and so I posted to brag about how awesome my T is. That's all.
