Dear G, I remember when I told you my most embarrassing moment, which I can now laugh about. I could hardly get the words out because I was laughing so hard, but when I finally did, you leaned back in your chair and laughed and laughed. I don't laugh very much because I feel so self conscious. Your laughter was so different from mine, so free and easy. But I loved seeing you laugh like that, and I hope someday I will be able to laugh like that too.

There are other things I will always remember about you too. Like the way one time when I asked for a hug, you replied, "Always!" And I knew you meant it because you had such a genuine look of happiness on your face and you opened your arms wide to embrace me.

I will also aways remember when I told you what Phyllis did to me and my sisters, how ashamed I felt, how I couldn't look at you. So you got out of your chair and knelt down in front of me, and it was impossible to not look at you then, and what I saw in your eyes was so much genuine compassion and concern. Also, at the beginning of that session, before I could get the words out, you were so worried about me because according to you I looked very pale and you thought I was going to pass out. Nobody has ever been that concerned about my emotional wellbeing before.
