Fairweather Friend

I had a dear friend in college. We had grown apart a little bit over the years, but still managed to email or chat or meet up once in a while. We met for brunch on Mother's Day last year and chatted and caught up with everything new that had been going on in our lives. My friend casually mentioned that she, her husband, and their soon to be born baby would be in Utah in January for Sundance, visiting another friend. We talked about getting together. . . .

I never heard another word from this friend. Sundance came and went, and I saw on her myspace page that she was indeed in Utah, 45 minutes  away from me. I was so very hurt. I still am. And yet--we've had friends visit us that I never in a million years would have expected to stay close. You just never can tell, can you?
