That actually sounds very reasonable. You have accomplished so much, and do have another therapist who has also been very helpful, even though the emotional connection is not the same, quite. We are probably lucky if we can experience this intense connection with a therapist once in a lifetime, and it is to be treasured and valued forever.
I might be in the same situation as you - occasional visits- except that mine retired fully and moved cross country. Because of that, we spent a year and a half grieving and saying goodbye. I am glad it worked out that way, as I now feel more complete in myself, and do not have a need to call or fly out to see him ( which he said I could do). But these things are so complex and multi-facetted; there's certainly no one right way to do it.
