That is really good advice, thank you.
I tried that last year, when I tried to get together with her. She said she was so busy with work. I said do you have time for lunch and she agreed she could do that since she needed to have lunch anyway. We had not seen eachother in a year at that point. We were together about an hour I suppose. When I got in my truck to go home, I remember saying “well, that was uncomfortable”.

You know how after seeing a true friend, you feel good, even elated or refreshed?

That was summer of 2015 when I last saw her. I have had not one email or call from her, just the initialed Christmas card.

I guess I will count my attempt at re-connecting at that lunch, as my last attempt with her.

I do wish her well. It takes 2 to be friends and she isn’t participating. Not all friends are for life. It is what it is, right?

Thanks for your thoughtful reply!

One goes through an entire life, and it is rare to need your second hand to count the true friends.

“Not all friends are for life. It is what it is, right?”

Just a comment, although I’m not part of your conversation: I believe God sends people into your life at different times for purposes that maybe only He understands. I’ve had dear friends in the past, but as lives and circumstances change, many have become “old friends”.

I just appreciate what we had when we had it, and look forward to what’s in store for me in the future.
