I am recovering from a medical issue. It was a big deal.
I wrote this to T.

"Dear T,

I was sooooooo glad to see you. If nothing extraordinary happens between now and Friday, I'd like to simply lean on (the stuffed animal) relax and listen to you talk about anything for the hour...we could even record it.

There is something healing about just sitting in the here and now feeling comforted and safe. Gosh, to feel comforted and safe for an hour..."

"When we meet on Friday, we can talk about anything that makes you feel comforted. (Stuffed animal) is quietly (?) waiting and you are in my thoughts."

Can anyone else imagine (going through a crisis, maybe) feeling comforted and safe just by listening to T talk about anything...no pressure? I have never tried it before. Maybe it's a dumb idea.
