Thanks for the advice and stories everyone!

KYS-I agree, family should be your best friends, because ultimately, they will always be there for you. It's taken me a long time to figure that out, but I can see it now.

Chrissy-you sound really nice too!! I'd love to get to know you better!

Krista and Paula--thanks for your help! I know I can turn to you guys and I will keep that in mind!

Janelle--your situation sounds so sad. I'm so sorry!

I agree with Donna-- Does she have a boyfriend? That could be the problem. Also, is she having a hard time with life? are her parents divorced? From the way you're describing it, it sounds like she does still care about you, but hardly ever feels up to writing. When you do talk to her, does she sound and act like she doesn't want to talk anymore, or does she still talk like the old Kat?

Sorry about my little questions, but my mom's a therapist and I can't help it

Thanks Devon! Answers to your questions--no, actually Kat doesn't have a boyfriend right now, (she's more into horses, lol). And yes, she's been having a really hard time in school and family situations right now I will say. Well, I guess it seems like she's pretty depressed most of the time. Funny you should mention it, but her mom died of cancer when she was 6, which could be a lot of it, and her only sister--and mom in a way--is gone as a nurse in the army, and it's been tough dealing with that. I think Kat does still care about me in a way, yet she doesn't know how to show it, or something of the sort. Sometimes I just feel like a burden, but I can't do anything to get her out of this depression state! It gets me pretty discouraged, since I did go through that, but I made it through and am a pretty positive person now.

I think the hardest part is that we live SO far apart, and I rarely ever see her. *sigh* I do still have two of the bestest friends in the world--Lindz and Di, yet they still live far away too...(California and Kansas) It's just hard to deal with these things, when I miss them all SO much! It's not hard for me to make friends, and I have lots, but very few are as close as Kat, Lindz, and Di...and I'd give anything to keep them forever! I guess there is a time when you have to let go though, and I know I've tried. *sigh* I'm going to keep trying to be buddies with Kat, but if she walks away, what can I do? I guess the only thing I can do is let her go, which will be tough, and pray that she comes back. It sure makes me want to cry though... It makes me feel somewhat better though to know you all have been through the same thing too, and that I'm going to make it through this...thanks again!
