Dear T,
I'm glad you remembered my birthday--I thought you hadn't when you didn't say something at the start of session. Thanks for saying an actual "Happy Birthday" at the end--I thought you were just going to acknowledge the day without any sort of wishes.

That comment you made about the pandemic, how we were "both a regular presence for each other," or something like that--maybe I'm reading too much into that, but your phrasing suggested that maybe I've helped support you through the pandemic as well, in some way? I mean, besides financially. Something in the way you said it. And about how I'm one of the few people who has seemed completely aligned with you in terms of pandemic safety.

And yes, I do wish you were immortal.

Love,
LT
