All these post have given me something to think about.I was kind of playing down the card ,just seeing it as that since it didn't say anything about anything other than the ususal happy birthday-ie no suggestions about meeting up etc.Is it really right to construe this as an attempt to rekindle the friendship? If it was,wouldn't it say something more,and,if that is what my friend truly wants,won't it be followed by more action on her part whether I do anything or nothing?
