> I'm sorry that you're feeling so sad. Christmas is a painful time for those of us who have difficult family situations. For me it always feels so artificial and false. This will be my first Christmas without my family - it was a BIG deal for them (specifically my mother) but sometimes we have to do what we have to for ourselves.*** Yeah. This is my last time going home for a long time, because I will be entering grad school and hopefully have my own apartment.

> I'm going to miss my T too. I'm already feeling really emotional and sad. I guess this is what comes when you have a T you feel close and connected to. It will be better again - Christmas will pass and things will return to normal.**** Yes, I know. And I am just so overwhelmed right now I can't write any more than that.

> I hope the next weeks go fast for you and that the phone and e-mail contact with your T helps you through all this.**** I think it will. He said I can email him as much as I want.
Try to find your own space from your family - mental or physical, whatever works for you. Is there anything from your T that perhaps you can take home for Christmas to look after that might be of comfort? I'm thinking to ask my T if I can borrow one of his books - not sure if I'll pluck up the nerve to ask but it would be nice.
***** If I remember, I will take home the stone he gave me once and hold onto that. He offered me that I could take anything from his office that I wanted to, but I didn't want to. It needs to stay in his office so that in my mind I can know his office is the same as it has always been.

> Take care SD (((((hugs))))) - you're not alone.**** Thank you. I need hugs.
