Dear Tamar,
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your note.
Your need to be rejected is something I cannot fulfill. I am your friend, your therapist friend. It's a friendship that exists differently than other friendships, though.
You can count on me to hold the feelings you shared with me. I will always care about you. It was a *privilege* to hear your deepest thoughts and feelings; a privilege to be allowed to get to know you. Your trust was a gift.
Our friendship is one where we carry each other in our hearts, each in our own way. I carry you as a person I watched grow and evolve, who worked hard, who took risks.
We don't meet for coffee, but everything we shared is still within you. I am, and will always be, on your side - maybe not at your side but always on your side.
Thank you so much for this offer of friendship. It is precious.
Warmly,
Your Kind T
