Dear T,
Thanks for today's session. I felt a bit awkward getting emotional about the handshaking thing. But you seemed fine with it. And I really appreciate your apology about the whole "field mouse" comparison from last session. Good to know you do think I've grown since then. Part of me wishes you could sit in on an interaction with my parents, so you know that it's not just me.

And I'm glad I'll still be able to see you twice each the week before and after Christmas. D has just been so challenging lately. I really hope the medication will help, but I also know it's not going to be some sort of magic bullet. And maybe we'll need to try a few, maybe even a combination, to see what will work for her.

But tonight was another tough one--while the stuff was going on at dinner, I just wished I could have talked (or texted) with you for a bit. But we got through it. Monday still seems far away. I know I could contact you if I wanted, but I just did a few days ago and would rather not do that unless it's extremely urgent. Though I am a little freaked out that there were 5 cases at her school today (trying to take solace in the fact that she's fully vaccinated as of today--though you also mentioned there'd been a couple cases at your son's school, so hope he's OK).

Love,
LT
