Hoping to Keep in Touch with Someone

Tweet

I wrote on Friday how I found out about someone I know resigning from their job. That person was a very sweet nurse from a mental health treatment program I went to last year, she'd encouraged me to keep in touch with her since then so I'd call her every couple of weeks and we'd talk for a few minutes. Well, I'm pretty sure she didn't just resign but that she was forced to given some things she'd let slip last time I'd gone up to visit her in person. She commented that she'd best get back to work 'before they report her' and other little things like that. I also know that my last few days there – she let it slip that she was being given a hard time for speaking with me and helping me deal with my issues. I guess they felt she was just supposed to do paperwork, despite the fact that she was the one person there that 'got' me and really helped me. She's actually the person who got me to stop self-harming, which I had been doing since I was 14! So, anyway...Friday I pondered out a way to at least make an effort to keep in touch. At this treatment program, you weren't supposed to know staff's last name but I know this nurse's because another staff member messed up and told it to me one day. The nurse knows this – I told her right away that I'd been told her last name and she said she didn't care at all that I knew it. So I've hatched my plan. The whitepages are a good thing, I looked up her address and am mailing her a card and a letter tomorrow. The card is just a 'thinking of you' card and the letter explains I wanted to reach out and send her my contact information in case she'd like to stay in touch, etc. Hopefully she will decide she wants to stay in touch with me.
