For your input and for your search. :)
I think I may just use the mother/pup imagery for the therapist/mommy part of the card.
A rough draft is something like
(Below Sea of Tranquility) Thank you for being my pink and yellow safe harbor in a sometimes stormy and scary world.
(Below mom and pup) Thank you for being my good-enough therapist/mommy.
(Among photos of his old office) Thank you for being a constant source of support in my life. Thank you for being willing to fight to relationship with me, even when it hasn't been easy.
(Below a picture of me as a child) Love, Me
What do you think?
Did you see the Shona sculpture of mother and child? That's my crash and burn present. It's not at all expensive. Not much more than a week's parking to see him. But I don't know if he'd like it. And I don't know if he'll accept a present of any sort. I might chicken out. I have a small worry stone to substitute if I do. I know he won't reject that. And I'll tell him up front that I know he might accept it, or he might reject it, or he might accept the gift of the symbolism but insist that I keep the actual sculpture. But I might chicken out. Probably will. :(
