She saw it and asked if she could have that picture when I die. Speechless!!! I didn't know what to say!!! I don't think she wanted it as a rememberance of me, I think she wanted it because it would have looked good in her home decor at the time. Her husband was walking behind her when she said it and he said....." OMG...you didn't just say that did you?" Well, she was the kind of friend who never called me, I always called her to see how she was and she was always in the throws of some kind of drama, or she was to busy to talk to me. Anyway, I felt like I was always the friend who was making the effort to be a friend and she was only responding. Needless to say, I stopped calling her to see if she would ever call me first. It's been 10 yrs and she still hasn't called me. I still feel sad about the lost friendship....but I don't loose sleep over it....and I still have my sampler pic too, which will be going to my children upon my death....many years from now I hope!!!!!!!!
Oh, I so know this feeling...I had a friend I used to take shopping all the time. Granted, I was going most of the time, but did take her at her request a few times. She moved out in the country...I did go pick her up and take her home a couple times. I was working at the time and it just got to be too much so I stopped. She had 3 boys...I always got them gifts/money for special days whether I was t the event or not.
I have two girls...don't think either one of them ever received anything for a special event...and she was always otherwise occupied and could not come.
So, after they moved to the country, she has not been to my house one single time...she is in town all the time and I live in a small town. Recently, they moved back to town and she contacted me through facebook and told me they were living about 10 blocks away and asked me to come over...I just told her I live in the same house and she is welcome here any time. She actually acted like she might come...but that was a year ago and I have not seen her.
