Would you ask an old ex-friend what happened?

Stick with me, this might get rather long…

Growing up I had the same best friend all through elementary school. We went to the same junior high school but in seventh grade she stopped being my friend. She never said a word, just stopped wanting to hang out and wouldn’t talk to me. That was a pretty tough year for me, my mom who had been ill died and I was pretty torn up about it, losing my best friend since kindergarten didn’t help the situation. Anyway, I recently found her brother on facebook and we have been talking back and forth. He told his sister we found one another, she said to say hello and that she would get on and send me a friend request.

So here I sit wondering if I should ask the question I have had for 30 years; namely, why did she stop being my friend. I would like to be able to say I have forgotten all about it, but I haven’t. I have wondered many times over the years exactly what I did to make her stop being my friend.

Would you ask the question or would you just let it ride?
