Maybe write down what you're feeling when you have the urge to do this. Maybe share that, and maybe share that you had the impulse to drive by - as a way to explore and grow from this.

If it's a way to get closer, you might look inside to the ways that your T has helped you. You might imagine her voice or hold the necklace and recall how she gave it to you. You might write a letter to her or speak to her in your mind.

These things don't require her house. Her house is an empty place.

Any ol' hobo can go by her house. It takes someone pretty close to her to be given a necklace to borrow as a keepsake.
No, driving by her house isn't like being with her either. Thanks, that's a good idea to think about how she's helped me, and think about her voice and things she has done. I do write letters to her, although I have no intention of showing them to her. But that helps a bit too.
