An Example of a Great Listener

I was writing in my journal about "Jen". She is now 14, almost 15. She has been one of the best listeners, if not the best, I have ever known. Here is part of what I was writing. It helps explain why she is such a good listener.

...whenever i am upset with laura, i write to jen. she's been the best. i dont know how she can resist giving me advice, but i can't remember even once when she gave me advice. and neither can i remember even one time when i felt judged by her. that's why i feel so free and safe talking to her.

Something else which makes her a good listener: she sends me lots of hugs. And sends hugs back when I send her one.
