Dear T,
Thank you for just being there today and listening and accepting all that I said without judgment. And for the empathy. I know I bristled a bit at the gratitude thing, but you're probably right. Like I said, though, it tends to lead me down a guilt spiral (apologies for using the Anne Frank example). But the way you explained it helped.

And like I said, I am thankful I can still "meet" with you through all this. If it were 30 years ago, this wouldn't have been possible. It seems like I really made you think in mentioning that, how you weren't sure how you'd have managed--could you have kept working in some way? Maybe the phone? Glad that I can see you on the screen though.

I could have talked for another hour, I'm sure, but I'm thankful we had the 50 minutes we did (see: gratitude!). And that I'll see you again Thursday.

Love,
LT
