(this is what I want. that will never in a million trillion years happen.)

Hi Art. I thought more about it and remembered what I said, even though I didn't write it in my notes. I told you before, I don't remember what I say, I remember what you say. Duh. But, I am sorry for the things I said that came across as hurtful. I wasn't thinking, I guess. Sometimes I forget to be the therapist because we worked together for such a long time. I wasn't trying to make you quit, even though I suspect that is how you interpreted it, seeing how abruptly you stopped.

I would like the chance to make things right, though, and have a closure session with you that of course I won't charge you for. I admit that I felt a little hurt when you suggested it on the phone in May, and then when I said I didn't need one, you said oh that's okay I guess we don't. Why didn't you tell me the truth, that it was what you wanted and needed? Why do you always try to make it about me?

Anyway, Art, I hope you will call in December before I go on vacation. You know that's why I told you when I'd be out. Right?

Best wishes,
