My absence resulting in anything less than a banshee's wail and the rending of clothes in sheer grief (for a bit of cross-cultural emphasis) is impossible to imagine.

On a slightly more serious note -- I don't know about being missed if I skipped appointments but former T repeatedly told me that she'd miss me if I terminated. It was completely unasked-for -- the question hadn't ever occurred to me and so, it was super weird when she'd phrase it like it was something I was asking (E.g. "Did you think I wasn't going to miss you?"; "Clients usually are wondering whether the therapist misses them (at x,y, z juncture); etc" Uhh, no?).

Because, even when I do wonder if someone will miss me (with other people) I find it utterly pointless to actually ask them because I figure that if I didn't already 'know' (feel it), the real answer is a 'No'. Given her general demeanor towards me then, I wouldn't have put 'miss' and 'me' in the same sentence.

So, all it made me wonder was if there was some parallel radio station playing in the room that former T was tuned in to and which I couldn't hear.
