Second to last session. There's a lot that had happened in the past month with me processing all this experience and planning on some kind of resolution to it time together.

I asked a small list of curiosity questions. I resisted anything to personal even though she said it was okay to ask. These were little things that came up over the years that I just didn't have the presence of mind to ask but always wondered.

Sometimes I want to really believe in universal timing: I finally asked when her birthday was...She laughed and said, "how funny you would ask me that today!" It was in fact that exact day. I told her mine i again and discussed my birth story again, though she didn't remember that I'd told her before. It was a nice moment. I don't think sessionshe'll forget it this time.

One more session to go. I'm trying not to ruminate over "last time" thoughts and focus on what I've learned and what I'm grateful for and how to move forward in the best way for myself.
