Think of any jobs you've had and your coworkers in them. Do you not remember your coworkers from 10 years ago? I remember mine (fondly :-) and still tell stories about them from the 1970's! Why wouldn't she remember you, you are part of her life! She's not working with a "thing" that will have no effect on her, you're not a chair :-) or piece of clothing she once used. Here life is being lived out in the minutes she spends in therapy with you just like yours is being lived. You're not going to be thinking of her much more/less in 10 years than she will be of you; either one of you could be thinking more/less depending on each's effect on the other. I saw my T a total of 18 years with another 9 inbetween so you could say I lived with her 27 years. But we did our work well so though I think of her quite fondly and remember the work we did together, I don't think of her like or as often as I did during therapy. She "fits" into my life like other people and incidents from my life during that time I was seeing her. I started going to online groups like PC in 1996 which is also when I started seeing her. Same sort of "comparison" when I remember and think about what my life was like in 1996 :-)
