What Are Friends For?

You know, it's interesting when you discover things that, perhaps, you didn't want to know about your "friends." At some point you just have to let go and stop clinging to something that (clearly) has ceased to exist.

This one hurts because I'd always been one of her staunchest supporters and have always forgiven her faults, as I thought she'd forgiven mine. This is one of those cases where I am truly baffled as to what happened or why she doesn't like me anymore. I'd feel better about it all if she'd just tell me why. But you know what? There is nothing I can do about it. And what is the motto I've been trying to live by?

I don't focus on things I can't control.

Until and unless she decides to talk to me, there is just nothing I can do. It makes me profoundly sad, but I have to let go. It's only hurting me at this point, for it is obvious that she doesn't care about me.

    Well I know this can't be about me because I am just dying to talk to you and spend some good quality time! :) But yes, you just have to let go and not worry about what you can't control. You also have to realize that some people go through rough times and turn into themselves. Hopefully when they emerge on the other end you can reconnect. The best part about true friendships are, it doesn't matter when you talk, it can be years, yet the conversation feels like it was just yesterday.

    Love you!

    Like Kerber, I know this also can't be about me because I, too am dying to talk to you and catch up. I miss you. I'll be in Houston for a quick trip in August to see my new baby neice who is actually being born today so hopefully we can see each other. I too have had a similar situation happen to me - it helped to focus on the friends that are there and this person and I have reconnected to some extent so there is hope. Love you, Jen

    Thanks so much ladies. These comments really mean a lot to me. I was told today that she just thinks "too much time" has passed and, therefore, I guess, my services as a friend are no longer required.

    I went to Andy's office and cried.

    You guys are awesome and I love you. Thank you for being there for me and for understanding me. And for these sweet notes. *hugs*

    When people/friends hurt you, I may cry for a little while and then I ask myself...were they really a friend after all?. I don't believe it is you at all! What is the old saying...if you wonder where God is...guess who moved? You did not change who you are...you are still the friend. Don't be hurt, that person is the one who lost, not you! Love ya JR

    Okay, well I hope I don't know this "friend" who thinks too much time has gone by and made you cry because I think I might go kick her/his butt! Too much time? What the hell is that? Friends don't care about time...it previous time invested, previous memories made, a connection between two like people that transends time.

    Again, there is nothing we can do. It is his/her loss. My gain. More time for me! :)

    Love you Tons!

    I agree with everything these wonderful, real friends have said. We all love you very much!

    She is the one missing out! As far as I'm concerned, she can go to hell!

    I know it's not me, because I have a ding-dong.
