I can relate to a lot of what you said. I had a best friend from kindergarten, but I moved away when I was 12 to a different state. We still kept in touch and visited, but slowly as high school creeped on we grew apart. I kept trying to get in touch with her and talked to her a few times by phone and email. In college I talked to her once, but she never called me back. I got tired of making all the effort. Anyway the point is I am not angry with her. People end up going their separate directions. I cherish the times we had and I know we would get along great if we saw eachother again, but a friendship can't be based on memories. Friends are like flowers they need to be tended to so they can grow. If left unwatered they will surely die.
Don't hold bitterness against your friend. Try to work it out. If your friendship isn't the same realize that she has made a difference in your life and now it is time to venture out. Email me if you would like.
