In reply to @sidney073 Thank you. I’ve gone ahead with my bonfire and it was very cathartic. See, the letters contained a lot of personal information about our relationship, and the more I thought about it, I realized I didn’t want them lying around in case something happened to me and my sister would have to deal with them. In all honesty, I felt terrific about the fire, and I must have laughed for a solid hour after I did the deed. I kept thinking, “ shame me once, shame on you; shame me again and shame on me.” This is not the first time my friend has done something terribly hurtful, and I decided that it was best to just “ give it up…” I harbor no ill will towards my friend, but I am unable to understand her response to my disease, nor can I get inside her head to make sense of what happened. But I have letters from another close friend, another college friend, who sent me a card and said she would be coming to CA from NJ in December and she wants to visit for a while. I’m thrilled. See the difference? Thank you for your response

I’m glad another friend reached out, sometimes we just need someone to reinforce that others care about us. I’m happy for you.
