Dear T,
I thought you said you wouldn't be away again until summer? Sigh... I hate how I get all teary when you say you're going out of town. I wish you could just tell me over email or something so I could deal with it then instead of showing all those emotions in the moment in front of you. I know you have the right to take vacation and that you deserve it. But I imagine R won't be around because it's Spring Break and she has young-ish kids.

And I feel awkward for saying that one thing I get from you is intellectual conversation. Granted, I said I know it's something I need to look for elsewhere, too. But I'm sure you'd think it's not something I should be getting from a therapist. Though I think you get something out of that sort of conversation with me, too, or at least you did during the first part of the pandemic.

Love,
LT
