Thanks, Dinah. I suspected you would get it. It went great. I met her at her house and I can't tell you how much better I feel now that I know where to picture her in the universe.
She is the same consistent person she's always been. Actually better now that she's retired. We had a wonderful 3-hour dinner. She showed me pictures of and talked about her granddaughter and her kids, I caught her up on all kinds of things. We are both making an effort to even out the relationship. For so long I couldn't and didn't ask much about her personal life, so I try to be very intentional about it now. It's getting easier.
I also got two hugs. My T gives the best hugs. I still miss her terribly, but this is the first post-retirement visit we've had when I wasn't sad when I left, but rather happy that I got to see her.
