Dear T,
It really meant a lot that you said the way I'd phrased things when I reached out to my friend about the yoga course was "sweet." I'm realizing the (positive) comments you make that affect me the most regard areas where I feel like I'm lacking in some way. Particularly as a friend or as a parent. And the fact that I know you are generally honest about things makes it have more meaning. Like how you said if a friend you hadn't talked to in a while reached out, but it was only to lament how they're doing. But how that's not what I was doing.

I know I need to find ways to feel more secure in those areas in myself, and not need it from you (or someone else). I guess that's one of the things we're working toward, isn't it?

Love,
LT
