I honestly don't know where to start when it comes to how JP has affected not only my life, but also my family's. My mom remarried when I was seven years old and the transition of everyone getting along was rocky to say the least. Some time later, my mother, (step-)father, twin brother, and myself ended up in her office. From then on, there were group sessions, seeing parts of the family in pairs, to individual sessions between myself and JP. JP saw me grow up as much as my own family did, helping me through mental health issues, relationship trouble, anger issues, and so on. If it wasn't for JP, I don't know where I would have ended up in life as she did so much for me in terms of support in a non-judgmental zone.
Upon receiving that text message in mid-February, I finally realized to look her up and see if something happened. This is because today was my last day of my Master's program at the University at Buffalo. The one thing JP always made sure I was doing well in was my studies and for her to know that I made it through would have meant so much to her. She was my therapist on and off for over 20 years. I have so much to thank her for and I hope she sees this one way or another.
