[QUOTE="nvts, post: 95844, member: 3814"] Hi! Sorry to hear about your Dad. We're all here for you so if you need to talk either on a PM feel free! I have a different spin on the best friend issue. When my Mom got sick, (many many years ago) she didn't hear from her best friend from the time she was diagnosed til the day she died. When she and her husband showed up at the wake, I wanted to KICK THEIR :censored2:'$. My uncle asked me to step outside and I thought "wow, they're going to let me kick their :censored2:'S"! They explained to me that they were frozen by the thought of death in their age group (my Mom was only 49 when she died). They were a mess, neither could meet my eyes and they were crying. What do you say? Well, here I am, 19 and making THEM feel better at my mom's funeral. My point is: illness and death has wicked feelings for people. She could be afraid to talk to you lest she say the wrong thing, or maybe she's thinking about her own parents mortality. Write her a letter, send a card. If she doesn't call or e-mail, write us - we're a HUGE family - someone will be on line if you need us! Thoughts and prayers to you! Beth [/QUOTE]
