Dear T,
You said some things today that really challenged me. In the past, I'd likely have felt hurt. And there was a fleeting moment where I felt that from something (OK, two things) you said today. But I realize you were saying those things to help me. I think that's progress? They are things/truths I need to realize and deal with.

I wish you'd start saying "take care" again...would it be weird to ask for that?
Love,
LT
