Heidu,

I am so sorry. I admire the fact that you are so straight forward in your letter to your friend. No one has ever felt that way towards a friendship with me and I wish we knew each other in real life.

Forgoten is right - people move in diff directions and get so wrapped up in it that they forget the ones they left behind. I don't believe that you have done anything wrong....you were direct, honest and giving. The ball is in her court now. If she chooses not to reply, then it is definitely her loss.

I can only imagine how hard it must be to be in a diff country with new traditions, language, etc. and to feel alone. I think you are doing so well learning the new ways there and constantly striving to succeed.

You deserve so much in life........I sincerely hope that you open up to the possibility of new friends - one that is deserving of you.
