Well, I haven't seen my T all week as she is off - when I see her on Monday I have some good news for her. I finally picked up the phone tonight and called my father; haven't spoken to him in over 2 yrs. We talked for about half an hour and it was a good conversation. Yeah!
Thanks for this!

Way to go Butterflies! That is incredible... I went a year without speaking to my family, and it was terrifying reconnecting with them - the longer you go, the more challenging I imagine it being so HUGE kudos to you! Your T will most definitely be proud And, I'm glad it was a good conversation! Way to take the first step to connect!

WOW! That took some really major courage and I'm so very proud of you as we all our and most importantly your T will be on Monday. Way to go girlfriend!! I'm so glad it was a good conversation and that you reached out for the connection. I hope it will continue to be a good thing for you. Hope T has big smiles and a hug for you on Mon.!

Thanks everyone! Well, it turns out that my T was sick all weekend so she had to cancel my appointment today. But we did do a phone session when I got home from work. I talked about some important things but waited until the last moment to tell her about the phone call to my father! She was indeed proud and actually said, "Wow, I am so proud of you!" I am going in to see her tomorrow(if she is feeling better) so I will talk more about it then.
