OK, part of why I love my marriage counselor. He and T are moving offices (combining with the other half of their practice up the block). I'd sent him this long e-mail last night expressing stress about the move, whether things would feel different, etc. And he sent a very caring response, reassuring me that we'd find a way to make the new space "comfortable and safe."

So I responded to that e-mail this morning, thanking him for his response and saying it helped. I knew the office would be smaller, so I said I just had one important question--whether there would be room for "Jim," this animal floor pillow he has and uses for examples sometimes (not real name or animal in case it's identifying). He just wrote back, in all caps, saying just "OF COURSE!!"

That pair of e-mails shows both the caring and silly sides of him.
