> I know you feel sad right now. But if Dr. Bob is going to be an influence in your life, maybe he could be an influence for the good. Maybe you could take the things you like best about him and use him as a role model. Like... He likes to be active, so maybe if you feel like skipping your swimming class, you could think about what Dr. Bob would do and choose to go instead. Or you could try to cultivate the sense of curiosity, or of compassion, that you so admire in him.That's a good idea Dinah. I want to be more like Dr. Bob.

> Or maybe you could make a special effort to talk to your Dad every day. I liked what you told me about his (IMO) reasonable level of concern about your trip. It sounded very caring to me.Yeah, I can do that too. It will be weird though. I don't usually talk to my Dad.
Dr. Bob is in my mind I think. Sometimes I talk to him in my mind. He's so fun. :)
You're probably right, Dr. Bob doesn't want me to be sad. I'll try to think of the happy memories instead and look forward to Hawaii!
I need to get a job first. I want to stay in Hawaii for longer. It's going to be so fun! I can't wait!
Someone should come to Hawaii with me.
