It's funny how when reading his reply, I could tell which lines were the therapist talking and how right at the end, he gave a little bit of just himself.
Sounds like the contact was a very good experience! Maybe it's not caving, but reaching out when you felt the time was right. It's really nice he was able to give something of himself even in the written form. My T is the same in emails--brief, but supportive. It has impressed me how he is able to be so supportive with so few words. When I read about your T, Bether, he sounds so much like mine.
