I'm glad to see you too, mouse. I could have written most of your post; it struck home for me! What is this relationship? I get it. T says we have a real relationship but I can't know her boyfriend's name. That's just one example. Yet she's the one who is interested and who I turned to when I was in the ER recently. She's the only one who willingly went to see my painting in an art show.

T is the only one who will listen to all my medical stuff and tell me to throw out my old pills.

We are very close, T and I. But, what is this relationship?! Yes, she's my T. The relationship isn't less than others in my life. It's just unique and loving. On both sides. Thanks for your post, Mouse.
