Charley and I had only worked together for roughly 3-4 months, but in that time, he had become an important figure to me. He became someone I looked up to. To me, he was someone who had "figured it out", and he was only able to do that because he was aware of his limitations, and had worked hard at countering them. I respected him greatly, and had come to care for him, very much looking forward to our sessions, as I believe he did too. I think this was because I knew that no matter how difficult things may get in those sessions, or the time between, his presence, patience, and commitment was allowing me to start "figuring it out". Though I have only scratched the surface, his character, more than his witty and experienced lessons, serve as a constant reminder to continue to understand and be kind to ourselves. He was a great man.
