We had a really nice session today. I wonder if he as been reading here... Hey you, you spying on me!!? ;-)

He seems to be listening more...
And he doesn't seem to be trying to sort the 'work' from the 'superficial' and directing the conversation towards what he considers to be the former...

It was nice.

I guess most of it was fairly light... About where I'm at work-wise and about this deadline I've set myself. Then I talked to him a bit about my bf and about how his father is dying... And about how I got to thinking about how I'd feel if my parents were dying and about how I'm not sure I understand how my bf feels very well. Because he had a pretty good relationship with his father, and a pretty good childhood etc. And I'm not sure that I can relate. And he said... That the best thing for me to do is just to listen to him. And that is kind of what I'm doing, so that was nice. Reassuring. Validating. I really want things to work out okay with my bf. Don't want to %#@&#! things up at all.

And we just kind of talked about stuff...

And he brought up about the emails. And fessed up that he has never really had email conversations / an email relationship before. I thought as much. He said that it might take some time... That he was still thinking about how he is best to respond to them etc. But that it was okay. And something that he is willing to work on. And that it will be a good way for us to stay in touch when I'm not around.

And he seemed happy that I was able to talk to him about that a bit. Talk to him a bit about what I'd sent. Maybe he was reassured (partly) that what I send is accessible to the aspect that presents ftf.

It was nice.

See him again Monday :-)
