Riverwalk, that's just what I was thinking. Why not just say hello and ask to speak to her? It's good to get back in touch, though.

Why did you hang up the phone on the terminally ill husband?

It's awful to have someone hang up when you answer the phone!

Yes I would send a letter or text her. If you phone and she did answer she might not be able to speak freely if her husband is there. By sending a letter, card or text it will leave it to her to get in contact. I am sure she will appreciate your support

Maybe send her a ' thinking about you' card and write something nice inside.

Send her a lovely card, less is more in terms of what you say, just leave the door open and say that you are thinking of her and would live to hear from her. Good luck ?

Good idea, I'll add something on my Christmas card.

Text her. Then she has the time to digest if she wants to talk to you or not.

Write a letter.

I stopped contacting one of my old friends a few years ago when she behaved very selfishly and let me down.
I have now heard her husband is terminally ill and my son says I should ring her. I tried last night but he answered the phone so I hung up.
Should I try again and what can I say after so long?
