i really need prayer. last summer a very close friend of mine moved away to scotland for a year of teacher's college. she and i were very close, and spent a lot of time together just before she left. i had a very difficult time when she left - i don't deal very well with goodbyes. she came back for christmas and we were able to see each other for a couple of days before i flew home for the holidays, and she was to return this summer. we had kept in close contact over the year, and were planning a couple of fun weekends away to the states when she got back. i got an email from her just after my birthday in june wishing me a happy bday, and saying she couldn't wait to see me. since that email i haven't heard one word from her. i know she's home, because a mutual friend of ours, who goes to the same church, told me that she had been home, but had left to visit some family in the states for a little while. i know she's back now, but i haven't had a phone call, and i don't have hers. she hasn't responded to any emails, although i know she's received the e-cards i've sent. she hasn't returned to our church, and i've heard rumours from her family members that she's avoiding everyone. it's apparently some big secret. i am feeling so hurt and so upset that she can't trust me to talk about whatever is going on. i can't talk to the mutual friend who knows what's going on, because he's sworn to secrecy and because my hurt and my anger are getting in the way, and i know i'll just take it out on him - so i just avoid him. everyone keeps asking me when she's coming back, because they assume that i should know. i need prayer that i'll be able to put the hurt away, but more importantly to forgive her. i feel like i've lost my best friend.
i know that there's 'a friend that sticketh closer than a brother,' but sometimes i need something/one more tangible.
thanks
