Sorry growly. I can see how much that would hurt, especially as your mutual warmth has been something you've talked about a lot with Kashi, and is obviously valuable to you.
It's important to remember though that his relationship with each of his clients is different, and just because he has a warm relationship with other clients, it doesn't make the warmth he feels towards you any less genuine.
I know it is hard to hold onto that realisation, especially when you've had a difficult Christmas with FOO. Hugs.
