Please don't take this distancing though as a personal slight or even being your fault. Yes, people change.
Regarding the FB unfriending. Realise that no two people use Facebook in the same way. I personally use it only as a way of keeping in touch with close friends and family members - the very people I maintain close contact with in real life. That is just the way I am. And I regularly go through my own friends list to tweek it here and there in such manner that it is a close reflection of my off-line life. Those that I do otherwise wish to maintain a more sporadic contact with I keep to my occasional email list. That is just the way I am. Do you think it possible then that she have a similar viewpoint of how to use Facebook?
So the unfriending may be really of no consequence at all then. What then is the other evidence that she is removing you from her life? Is there evidence she is not?

Aw, thank you, Wishfulthinker!
And thanks for explaining how you yourself use FB -- that's helpful info and a great different perspective for me to consider.
Well, to be honest, she and I (the one who dropped me from FB) have not been close in years. So perhaps that's how she views it herself. That she no longer feels close to me and therefore, felt she should remove me.
I suppose that's the real truth of the matter. We're no longer close and have not been in years.
Perhaps I just cling to that friendship because to me, it represents history, and a history that was important and special for me in my life and in my development as a person. But maybe it doesn't hold that same special meaning for her anymore.... or maybe it does, but maybe it's just all in the past.
I think I live in the past a bit much... hmm.. food for thought.
Thank you again!!! You've really helped me to think more on this.
