I think about him all the time!<BR/><BR/>sabra - Are you in the same line of work?<BR/><BR/>halfshared - yes, your answer is in the epilogue although I really wish I did KIT.... and btw, so many times I had asked my (then) husband if we could just adopt him!!!<BR/><BR/>little birdies - thank you so much for the really beautiful message. Sometimes in this line of work parents are so overwhelmed and mostly in denial, they hardly even appreciate that we come to work with their child. It is so comforting to know that you care so much. I really do care for the children I work with so much, and may yours continue to grow and learn more each and every day!psychedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127404496251418714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705619885988432657.post-13517420454276821852008-03-27T00:32:00.000-04:002008-03-27T00:32:00.000-04:00I can only imagine how hard it is for a therapist ...I can only imagine how hard it is for a therapist to leave a case that they loved. Especially when the child had such a hard life and related so well to them.<BR/><BR/>As a parent of a child with amazing therapists, it's hard for us to let go too. When we see you loving our children and helping our children in ways we don't know how to do ourselves, we feel indebted to you for the love and care you give.LittleBirdieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532161424217457972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705619885988432657.post-35766093072794950512008-03-26T11:44:00.000-04:002008-03-26T11:44:00.000-04:00It's so amazing how devoted and involved you were ...It's so amazing how devoted and involved you were with him. It really takes an extra dose of warmth to truly care for a child that can technically be seen as a "job" and not a person.
