Doctor Peter Haiman,
How nice to hear from you. Hope all is well with you. So far everyone in the house is expressing their feelings every chance available. _____ is starting to cry when things bother him instead of holding everything in. I just hold him and then he tells me what he wants and how he feels. His old/present caregiver says that he is fine and he does not give any trouble. She has about 5 kids from various ages. He tells me he likes the kids and some mornings he will ask me for extra stacks so he can share with his new friends. He is starting to come out from that I’m a bad boy attitude to I'm a good boy all the time and you can see the difference in his behavior. We will continue the exercise with him. I attached a picture of him for you to meet my little man.
Once again Dr. Peter Haiman thanks. Thank for your continuing help and care for my child. God bless!

Dear Dr. Haiman,
Thank you from my heart for the wisdom and guidance you provided to me during our conversation yesterday. As I prepare to take on the challenges ahead, it is a great comfort to know that I can continue to seek your expertise. I will use it wisely and with fortitude.
Warmly,
Peter
Thank you for always going the “extra mile” with me.
I truly could not have made it to this point without your understanding, support, and guidance.

Dear Peter,
Hope all is well with you. Autumn is always my favorite time of year. I just love watching the trees change colors. We are just coming out of winter – maybe a few more weeks of it.
I feel I’m treading unfamiliar ground sending this check. According to my records this is the balance of our account. My monthly trips to the bank to exchange Australian dollars into US dollars have sort of developed into a ritual. It reminds me our your comforting voice telling me to be nice to myself. I think things are going pretty well for me – in fact I remind others to be nice to me too.
_______ one week in still likes his job – he is amazed how clear they are in their focus. People ask questions that he feels would have been looked down upon at his previous job & it encouraged him to do the same.
Can’t tell you how much you have helped our family, ______ & myself. Our family is definitely the better for it.
Thank you,
Love,

Dear Peter,
What a bittersweet goodbye. Part of me wanted to run back inside on Saturday and get another hug from you. Yet, as I walked outside a mockingbird was singing from the top of a tall pine tree outside your office. As I listened I felt as if it was Spring, a new beginning. A rush of hope and excitement. Thank you for pointing me in a new direction and for staying with me when things were so dark. Let’s stay in touch. I’ll miss you, but I will be thinking of you.
Love,

Dear Dr. Haiman,

______ and I have been able to share a lot of feelings that were hidden or not recognized previously.
We are doing our best for the children and ourselves.
Thanks for your support.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Haiman,
I feel great. Your support have given me a lot of strength to deal with life in a way that I wasn’t able to before therapy. I am very happy about what I am doing for my family and myself. Thanks for being there.

Dear Peter;
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me, lend support and love, and to also talk with the attorney I have engaged.
This battle has been frustrating and exhausting. The legal system is certainly full of injustice at the present time! (Prayers and positive thinking have gotten us this far!)
Let’s hope the outcome of these procedures will protect this little child. He is so dear, so innocent and trusting, so deserving of a secure and happy childhood.
Our children are the legacy of humanity.
You are doing such a fine thing by leading people with your convictions that nurturing and loving is alright – and indeed mandatory for raising well-adjusted and healthy human beings.
I look forward to meeting you.
My deepest thanks for the time you shared with me.
We wish you peace, warmth and love.
Sincerely yours
Dear Dr. Haiman,
Thank you for sending this article and your listening ear!
I appreciate your helpfulness and understanding. All too often we go through life simply doing what we have to do.
Thank you for your willingness to take those extra steps along the way!
Sincerely
Dear Peter,
We want to thank you for your help and encouragement concerning our daughter.
Your follow-ups are a blessing!
I enjoy you as a professional and as a friend.
Thought you might like this piece that was in the paper.
Talk to you soon.
Dear Peter
It is a rare occasion that one receives a gift so precious and meaningful to one’s life. The confidence and belief you have shown me regarding being a teacher is indeed a precious gift for me. It gave me reassurance and confidence I needed; most of all, it rejuvenated my dream and drive to be aware of student’s need is possible and still teach. Because, that’s what you did for me. I have been questioning whether my quest was possible with closing of schools, budget cuts and teacher lay-offs. Somehow, I lost site of my dream and drive, but I found it _____ through you!.
Furthermore I want to thank you for understanding my health problem, and I want to thank ______ for speaking and informing me about my mediation.
Before closing, I wish you, joyous Christmas & New Year!
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Haiman,
Thank you again for your words of wisdom. I put a copy of “For Your Own Good” on hold & will try & read as much of it as I can before next Thursday. I look forward to talking more with you then on how to deal with my quick temper.
Sincerely,

Dearest Peter:
On this, a special day for me, I want to begin my 60th year and tell you how much you mean to me – you’re the first today, and I am glad.
You have been and are a marvelous constant in my life… Our friendship means much to me and I feel blessed by your actions, thought and words. You’ll be amused (amazed) to know I’m also a “Boar” – so I get a double (never a bore!!) whammy this decade year, as it’s my linear year as well as horizontal / vertical – whatever!!
Dear Peter, a tender, long hug and much loving warmth to you on my day.
Loving you,
