"And I had no Jane to comfort me."

Although the title quote has very much to do with this entry, it may seem a little odd, but I hope it all works out in the end.

After receiving an email at work, I was completely emotional. First, I tried to ignore it, but there Dr. Gardner was, knowing something was wrong. I smiled and continued with what we were doing, but he sat there patiently. Finally I expressed my emotions, first in a pile of anger and then in an eruption of sobs. He sat there patiently, he listened, and he cared. He let me cry on his shoulder. As we were standing there with his comforting arm around my shoulders, I had a glimpse into the future when I would "have no Dr. Gardner to comfort me." I expressed this feeling to him and wondered aloud what I would do when I was no longer working in the lab.

We both decided I could cry over the phone just as easily as I could in his office.

Haylee how sad! But it's funny this should be the title of your entry because I did a P&P marathon last night with my sisters.
I hope all is well.

Awww... what e-mail? You didn't tell me about an e-mail. Once I cried in front of Dr. Jacoby, but it's because he said something really harsh that made me cry. He's not really the comforting type. lol. And yet I'm totally obsessed with him. haha
