Maybe it's just another one of those things that depends on the therapist, and then the relationship they have with the client on top of that. I like my therapist, and she has said she does not dislike me, but I don't think she would miss me in any kind of personal way if I stopped going.

I think that's just the nature of the business. It's a weird mix of personal vulnerability by the client and a distant professional interest by the therapist. I know there are those on here who have a more caring type experience where they may be missed, but I think in general, it's not to be expected.
