Last fall she just up and decided she no longer wanted to be friends with me anymore. And despite my best efforts to find out why she never really gave a reason. I tried everything I knew to do without knowing a real reason for the "break up." left messages, apologized for anything I could think of, left her s birthday gift on her front porch which she opened and then returned on my front porch in an old shopping bag. At times when I think about it and I'm missing her it feels like a punch in the stomach all over again! I heard through the grapevine that she delivered her second child yesterday...a girl who she named Mary. I tell this story because friendship, like a marriage, takes 2 people commited to working things out and to making it successful. When someone decides they no longer want to be part of the equation or they do something that can't just be looked over and moved on from without some serious discussion first it leaves the other person with their hands tied. As I sit here heartbroken over the fact that my friend who I've tried numerous times and ways to contact is celebrating a new baby with my name that I will never probably see, |
That's the worst...she didn't even tell you why she's treating you like crap? Could it be hearsay somewhere, someone told her something about you, starting a rumor? There are devious people out there that will try to break up a good friendship...but I guess she'll never know... At least you can say you tried. And I'm sure everytime she says her baby's name(Mary), she thinks of you.
