I Am So Sad

red98vett · 12-06-2006, 01:53 PM

oh wow. I haven't had that kind of experience but I would send her a nice long letter and the card idea sounded good too or the flowers...and see what happens. Sometimes we can say alot more in a letter than we can to someones face and she'll at least READ the letter since she isn't coming to the phone. How sad for you - she sounds like she's missing out on a great friendship and that is really HER loss.....ALL THE BEST TO YOU and I hope she comes out of her shell and talks to you - that' what friends DO.

I am going to write a letter. I'm not going to hurry and write it, but take a few days to complete it. That way I can be sure to get all my feelings out. I always get her a Christmas present, I mean after all, she's my bestest friend in the whole world. I do like the letter idea though. Thanks ladies. Hopefully she'll be my Christmas present.

I think that's a great idea! I really hope it works out that you two can get together soon.

Janet don't take it personally as the others have said. I do to have a best friend whom I am friends with since I am 5 yrs. old so we talking 45 yrs..lol We live in different states, she in NY, I am in NJ. We speak about once a mt. sometimes we go longer. But when we do speak its like we just spoke a day ago. We have different live styles , she is divorced, raising a young daughter of 13, I have college age childrenand I am married. We get together a few times a year. We will be seeing each other over the Christmas season.. I to do wish we lived closer but this is what happens in life..

Like you mentioned that you will be writing her put the letter in a pretty card, like Diana said invite her to lunch and see what happens, maybe she is just busy with her family and since her dad died she may be feeling down, does she have a husband? If she does maybe you can get together as couples and go to dinner.. Good luck and let us know what happens.

I agreed with everyone dont take it personal. I suffer from depression and sometimes I don't feel like talking to anybody. Maybe she feels the same way. I think that the idea of the letter and card are good. That might cheer her up and hopefully she will contact you and keep in touch. Hugs to you.

I think you're right also...she does get really down thinking about her parents and her health. I know she's tired of not feeling well. I'll just keep letting her know I love and miss her.

Thank You Janet, for sharing your life on this thread. After having read it and seeing what others suggested, I too decided to not give up hope. I sent a Christmas card to my friend with a note in it telling her how much I miss her and inviting her to call me anytime. I hope she does!

IF she does, it's because I got the idea from you and our great ladies here. It's easy to just give up, but there's nothing to be gained if we don't at least try.

HUGS

I understand how you feel. It is VERY VERY hard not to take it personally.I have a friend from back home. We had been through a lot together and yet EVERY time I call she is never home! Now come on. She can't be gone that much. I have tried to call her for almost a year and she is NEVER there. I won't be calling back. Llike you I just don't understande it. I know I ahven't done a thing so go figure. I wish I could help.

((HUGS))
