Dear T,
Thanks for being validating about all this stuff with D today. I'm pretty sure you were crying at one point--I was trying to not keep looking at you when I noticed, but you kept wiping your eyes repeatedly. And I know you've shared something similar with me a few months ago, but I both appreciated and maybe feel a bit awkward regarding what you shared today about your conversation with your wife about your son. You certainly never would have shared that 2 years ago. It really helps to know that you get it, on a personal level (and don't judge me for it). But it also makes me feel more attached and connected to you, and I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing--or maybe it just is?

Maybe it's helping me to realize that I need to find more people to have in my life who truly "get it." And I can try to look at it from that perspective. That it's signaling a need.

Love,
LT
