On Thursday last week I had an appointment with my T. She asked if we could end about 10 min. early as she was heading to the airport to go out of town. I was fine with that. We had a really good visit and I felt good when I left, that doesn't always happen. I like it when it does.
About 30 min. after I got home, she was calling my cell phone from her cell phone. I was pretty sure she didn't need to talk to me, so I let it go to voice mail.
She said, "This is ******, I'm leaving you a pre-flight voice mail like I usually do, I just wanted you to know I made it on time and that my flight has been delayed by 30 min. so I didn't need to rush like I did. I wanted to call and tell you I will have you in the front of my mind, in the back of my mind and in the middle". We had had a conversation about how a mother has her child in the front of her mind when she is looking at her child or doing something for the child such as fixing it something to eat, or with an infant, making it a bottle etc. And the child is always in the back of the mothers mind when they are not in sight of each other. If this makes any sense, I think it's a nice concept to think about.
I was thrilled to know that I was in her mind even though she was going away for the weekend. It made me fly with good feelings. I needed that right now.
It's so nice when our T's help us so much in such a simple manor. I just love her so much.
We are preparing for her to be gone a week in June and most of July she will be out of the country. I will miss her, but hope we can make the time away be ok. We're talking about ways to make that happen. I'm glad for that.This is a good day for thinking about my T in positive ways. It's nice not to be frustrated with therapy. My life frustrates me!!!
