reconnect with my old best friend

we grew up together, and now were at the same high school but in different friendship groups. we went for years without talking, but now we talk more. i dont want it to be exactly the way it used to, but i just want to be close with her again. its slowly happening.

I looked up phone numbers on the internet and left messages telling who I was and who I was trying to reach. My friend’s mom called me back. My bestfriend is very ill now with cancer. I was able to talk to her for a while, though she is heavily medicated. I am going to call back and stay in touch. I want to go see her if I can manage it. She lives in a different town.

the card with her old phone number on it. It’s not where I thought it was. But I’m not giving up yet.

finding that letter with her old cel phone number in it. I think her dad has her old cel phone now, like last time I called when she was resting. Then I need to get a phone card to call long distance from my phone.
Dec 10th is her birthday.

I’m not sure how to reach her, and this is really sad….
we were close friends for over twenty years, living far apart but keeping in touch. Then when my friend became ill with cancer it was harder to keep in touch because she moved and canceled her email, but I tracked her down at her folks, but she was ill and sleeping. I haven’t called back since and I feel bad about that. I sometimes feel like she wanted to lose touch when she got ill and I let it happen and I am guilty. I am afraid if I contact her family she might not be alive anymore. But I am going to get a phone card so I can call and see how she is. I feel sick when I think about this and how I’ve lost touch.

We were very close from kindergarten and on for a few years. She ended up moving across the country and I found her on a social networking site around 5 or so years later since we last talked. I added her as a friend and left her a really nice message, but she never responded. I feel pretty bummed. She’s not who I hoped she’d be anymore. Oh well. Good luck, everyone else.

Well, there has been sort of contact…our parents talked, about a week ago. Not great, but progress is progress!
