Thursday was one year since Vickie took leave from her practice. We accomplished a lot together, some of which I am still realizing as the days go by. Vickie, I miss you and love you a little more everyday, both personally and professionally, for moving me toward the better man you knew I could be, and I am becoming, even through all my doubts. You're amazing!
I am twice blessed 'cause Kerry my new therapist is equally wonderful! I was bound and determined that no one would ever replace Vickie; that part is true, no one ever could. I was also sure that never again would I find someone to care for my needs from a therapist as thoroughly and sensitively as Vickie; I was wrong about that, because Kerry set quickly about providing the same feeling of empathy and safety and interest that I relied so much upon Vickie as my sole source for, for nearly five years. Kerry brings her own unique and personal style to our collaboration. Both of you have earned my complete and unyielding trust, and because of that, you've also both won a substantial piece of my heart. Like I said...twice blessed!
I hope one day that both of these wonderful women will get to meet each other. Who knows, maybe we'll all dance at my wedding!

"I'll Be Seeing You", Dean Martin.
