I have friends/ people I've known for years but we don't chat, or contact eachother. Birthday and Christmas cards whittled to none, if they moved, or died, I wouldn't even k ow. No one tells me.
I left work four years ago and had a few good work colleagues, but they never message to say hi, although I used to, until I realized I was the one that always the first to say hello.
I met up with one on a semi regular basis, but she went away a lot with other friends and her daughter. Last time she went on holiday, I said let me know when you're back and we'll meet up again. That was over two years ago. I'm not going to be saying hi. I shall wait.
I reached out to another friend on FB a while ago. She said she's sorting out a holiday and when she's back we will definitely meet up for a catch up. Again, I shall wait and see.
Sparkle fizz,
You have been very lucky having a friend for so long, and even if it's just a card at Christmas, it's still a friendship. Don't drop her, because one day she won't be there, and you will regret not sending that card, or writing in it about your days.
Even if she doesn't respond as much, she will still know You are around. And that's always good to know, no matter how often or not you keep in touch.
But the decision is yours x
