First of all, I'm really glad that your little one is doing better.
Second of all believe it or not I too had so called friends that decided to turn their back on me. However, that's when I realized that they were never my friends in the first place because a true friend would never do that.
Thanks, I am also glad my little one is well! She seemed 100% by Monday!
With my friend, it was a good 14 years. It did not end in a betrayal or a fight. She left on a far away internship. We texted sometimes, but not that much. She was going to extend her internship, but they lost all the papers she filled out. So she said, "Forget that! I'm going home!" She surprised me as she said that at my front door. I hugged her and cried. It was the longest we had ever been apart.
Later, we were attending a bible group together that she invited me to. It was honestly the last place I wanted to be because I was not that deep rooted in Christ. Because I wanted to hang out, I went.
They threw a surprise party for someone. I ended up going and the guy who became my husband was dragged along by his friend. I ended up chatting with him because my friends were talking with other people. From then on, we chatted a lot. My friend added him online, I saw it and said, "Hey! It's that guy from the party!" I added him, we chatted a lot, we hung out, we fell in love.
My friend mentioned she was going back to her internship in a week or two. My now husband left a status about loving someone, but was referring to me. My friend asked who he was referring to and I let her know it was me when she asked after bible group in her car.
She said she was tired and needed to pack up for her internship and catch up on sleep before her flight. I suspect she may have had feelings for my husband at that point.
I had always promised she would be my maid of honor. She flew back to come to the wedding then left again. She came back after her internship, and asked why I was no longer friends with another one of our friends who became weird and lied a lot to me after I got married. I answered, but did not speak badly about anyone. I feel that my friend faded me out. We talked less and less, hung out for shorter intervals at each time.
4 years later I saw her and she said we should hang out. It never happened and it wasn't until another 4 years later this past Sunday that she told me she had gotten married and wanted to reconnect.
It was more of a faded out thing, a growing apart on my end. We didn't fight or argue, but I wish I knew the "why" so I had closure before.
I suppose closure wasn't in God's plan because it doesn't seem over yet...
