zh,

thank you for posting this! i always believed that mine and t's relationship was/is a very healthy client/t relationship, and you've just confirmed that.

after all these years, he and i have gained a mutual respect for one another and can even speak as friends would, and have kept each and every boundary in place. that's a really cool thing to know...and very interesting info as well.

it tells me something about myself and something about t. i knew i had a good one how blessed am i? i've often told him that. he has told me how much i have taught him (sometimes with tearful eyes), and that he appreciates life more and has learned what true strength is, etc., by seeing me. what a wonderful compliment from a wonderful t and person. i respect him as a person and a t that much more thanks to your post. also, i'm a little proud of us for maintaining our part

thanks again! good info!
