U_S, slightly puzzled, replied "yes, she's a counsellor". The delivery driver then said "I saw her about 3 years ago [in Liverpool as a client] now! Can you please let her know that I'm loving my life, I'm loving my job and I'm doing brilliantly and tell her thank you?" Well I'm not ashamed to say I had a little cry. Many, many people now I've had the privilege of listening to and witnessing go through some of the toughest times they are ever likely to experience. After a few weeks they go out of my life and I'm unlikely to ever see them again, or to know how things turned out for them, if they're even still alive. Yet just this once I had the chance to find out how strong the human will to push forward can be. This is the sort of chance event that makes it all worthwhile.

Indeed! And I'm not surprised you shed a few, Fall. It must have been wonderful to learn that you'd made such a difference to someone, and that he remembered you.
