I am sick and I feel like I have been all week. At the beginning I think I had an adverse reaction to a new asthma medication but now I definitely have a cold. Today is my birthday and even though I was miserable I decided to go to my session (do other people do that .. go to therapy even when they are too sick to do other things?) My T had a birthday card for me with a hand written message that was appropriately therapeutic and supportive. I was so touched I cried. About six months ago when he turned 60 I gave him a present and told him I was sad that he would never remember or celebrate my birthday even though I've been seeing him for almost 6 years. It is really important to me that he marked it in his calendar and thought about it before my birthday. It also is one of the many things he has done for me that aren't his standard practice but he has been willing to adapt to things that are important to me.

I just wanted to share this feeling with some people who would understand how important my T is to me.
