Well we had a bit of a silent session yesterday, but that wasn't really a bad thing. I took in this thread to him which took ages to read through and after telling me how well I'd done, he said that we better fix up this letter.
So then he started to write. And write. And write.
When I said a page or two would be better, I was thinking about his normal type of page. He writes really spaced out and only fits maybe 4 sentences on a page.
Instead he wrote out 4 completely full pages, ie how a normal person writes. Which really blew me away.
So it took ages to write. Then he had me read it and that took ages. And then we just had a couple of minutes at the end to talk.
But that was okay because he did up the best letter ever. Better than what I could have even thought up for myself. I've been dying to re-read it over and over but I can't because I gave it back to him so I don't wear it out before he goes.
It was *so* good. It had everything I'd mentioned in my post and so much more. It left me feeling like I could handle his holiday. And not just handle it, but look forward to the challenge of getting through it (okay only one part thinks that, the others are still dreading it, but are probably more hopeful of getting through it).
I was even confident enough to cancel the appointments I made with the other T. And yes, I was right with my reasons as to why he wouldn't like the idea of seeing someone else.
There was heaps more good stuff in it, but I just feel like hugging it to myself and treasuring it.
Can you tell I liked the new note? :)
