A letter to Dear Abby reveals a deep sense of loss felt by a woman over a friendship with Carla, which ended after she couldn't attend her son's wedding due to transportation and financial issues. Despite the lapse of communication, the writer is contemplating whether to reach out to Carla for potential closure. Abby suggests that Carla's stress during the wedding might have contributed to her reaction and advises that while reaching out may provide insight, the relationship may not return to its previous state given their geographic distance.
Weddings can be complicated affairs, and it's likely that Carla was stressed and distracted because of the number of guests and all the activities related to the wedding at the hotel.
If you would like to hear her side of this and gain some closure, by all means, reach out.
Because you are now so geographically distant, do not expect to resurrect the relationship you had with her.
To have expected her to provide you with transportation and share her room with you may have been regarded as presumptuous.
