hey impala,
personally i feel that if you feel the friendship is worth that much to you it cant hurt anything to contact her (email her if you can or write her a letter etc) telling her exactly how you feel. what your expectations of the friendship are and how you feel about how things have gone so far. in this case honesty might just be the best policy because either she is going to appreciate it and act accordingly or she is going to be offended and continue to be silent. there s nothing to lose really.
if its not worth it to you then of course dont make the effort. recently i have been reestablishing contact with two people that i more or less lost contact with several years ago but honestly i think that is unusual and a bit of a fluke. also a benefit of bebo and facebook. lol. but in my experience it is rare for someone to come back and accept that they want to reestablish a friendship after it has been broken off.
btw regarding my friend in my thread that you answered, she emailed me and seems to want to keep being friends but im still very wary. we ll see.
i really empathise. ((((((((((((((impala)))))))))))))))) if you would like hugs.
