Dear T,
Not sure how I feel regarding the disclosure about having to take your son to the ER while you were on vacation here last month. Especially as I felt like I probably couldn't ask any questions.

I think maybe we need to have a discussion about those sorts of things. I mean, that's something where I completely understand that you might not want to provide any additional information. But there are other disclosures where maybe I want to ask more--where I'd ask followups to pretty much any other person, including someone random I'm chatting with at a restaurant or a colleague I didn't know that well (back when I still worked in an office), but then don't know if it's OK to ask you. I suspect you'd say it's OK to ask, that you may just opt to not answer. But then I worry that I'll feel rejected if that happens. It still might help to know that you won't be bothered by my simply asking the question?

I guess I just don't know where the line is. I knew at one time, but you've redrawn it since the pandemic and share quite a bit more. Like I wasn't sure if it was OK to ask where you were going next week--and I guess I didn't ask you *where*, just the nature of the trip, but I feel like it had become pretty obvious anyway (particularly with your being uncertain of when you'd have to leave for it). So I'm glad you were willing to tell me.

And I'm glad you went ahead and scheduled me for Sun/Tues just in case you find out you need to leave Wed, so that I can still have 2 sessions. That means a lot.

Love,
LT
