Yes, I had a positive termination with my T in December. She gave up her practice, so she had to terminate with all clients. She sat next to me and cried, saying that she loved me and was so sorry that she had to terminate (without warning) because of circumstances outside her control. It was difficult to give her up as my T, but we have become friends. We see each other about once every three weeks (in fact I saw her today), and it feels like seeing a good friend. I feel incredibly lucky that she has remained in my life. If she ceased all contact after our last session (as many therapists do), I think I would feel very differently.
