Thanks Rabid. I hope you are able to cope with your termination much better than I ever did.

I'm trying to remember this, too, for when my therapist leaves in the next couple of weeks. He's off to get his doctorate, and I think (with a hint of wistfullness, as you wrote of it) that he'll never think of me ever again. But think, Pinkeye, of how many times some little thing will trigger your memory, and somebody comes to mind. It could be anything: a color, a scent. Maybe he'll smell some perfume that reminds him of the one you wore, and your face will come to him.
