Thanks. I do think it's a bit about the connection but I don't know if that's all it is. I think there is more to it than that. Not entirely sure what. I didn't send the message mainly because I was unsure if it would have crossed the line of what was ok and also because I knew she was ill and thus the last thing she would need is to hear from a client. I.e being reminded of work and all that other stuff people like to get away from when ill. There is another part of me that says however that sending the message is a human desire to show care to another human being that was suffering. Yes I know she does not need my care and she surely has other people in her life who can show her care but I don't believe the one thing we have too much of in this one is people showing care for others. Whether that is in the form of a simple 'I hope you are feeling better' text or another means. I don't know. Anyway, I didn't send the text but do find this thread really interesting as I said. Thanks for your input. I hope I am not taking over the thread and derailing it. Apologies If I am.
