Would you contact a friend after 10 years?

Hello MsMediator. If you have her contact info, you could apologize to her for "ghosting" her as you say.
That should help you put closure on the issue for you, as it sounds like she has moved on, also...

Is this the same friend as you other post?
Has God been nudging you to contact her?

closure after ten years seems a bit delayed...
with birthday dinners or parties Im not actually too fussed if Im not invited if I think somone is special I give them a card or gift to say am thinking of them since theres only so many ppl you can invite esp if its family or do something else with them anyway... but that is just me, I try not to make a big deal over it (many of my friends dont really like a big birthday fuss themselves)
Although I in my case I try not to be too disappointed when I invite ppl and they cant come. They dont always need to give a reason

Did something go wrong with this friendship? Ghosting may not be personal for that person sometimes we dont want to be contacted because of our own issues or we cant handle them at the time and sometimes its even for our safety (or theirs) so I try not to take it too personally

Rejection probably hurts a lot more than ghosting although it is frustrating not really knowing.

Pray about it and maybe if you do write your note just be happy for her and wish her well and that you cherish the good memories. Many a time we dont actually get to say goodbye to our friends if shes a saved christian then you know you'll meet her again anyway in eternity.

it is not just our blood families or spouses that we think we'll spend eternity with in Heaven

I've been ghosted before. It doesn't really weigh very heavily on my mind.

I vote for just letting it go.

If someone who ghosted me years ago suddenly showed up with an explanation, I would wonder if they wanted money.

In my case, I was getting annoyed at a friend because I felt a bit excluded and she was giving more weight to others in our circle (from my perspective, at that time). One day I decided not to respond to her text to meet up (I don't remember the specific reason why now). We were also very close for a few years and were in the same circle of friends. I think she texted me once more. A few months later, she didn't invite me for her birthday. Anyway, at that point, I thought it was all over since it is pretty major not to be invited to a birthday dinner. I was actually hoping that her birthday dinner would be a chance for us to reconnect. The reason why I want to reconnect now (or when I visit town) is for closure and explain why I behaved that way; our friendship was kind of left hanging. I feel a bit bad because prior to ghosting her, she gave me a gift of a framed photo of both of us. I now live many states away, and she could be married/with kids for all I know as I deleted FB a few years ago. So, my goal is not to go back to old times/become best friends. Thoughts?

Yeah it is a bit delayed. If I did contact her, I would say that reading some books prompted me to contact her, which is actually true. I would also note that I moved, which should imply I am not expecting anything.

I would contact a friend after 50 years!

I've actually been reaching out to people I went to elementary school with. I occasionally e-mail my music teacher from 8th grade and a few times a year text a school mate from the 4th & 5th grades. (On an interesting side note... This latter guy sent me a current photo of a crush I had way back then. He bumped into her recently and claimed to recognize her after 50 years. I have not contacted her nor do I desire to, but this is the kind of thing that can happen when you reach out.)

no. well, not anymore. what i mean is, in the past, i was always the 1 to contact people when a considerable amount of time passed by, no one contacted me. & what do you think happened? things remained! but you all should know this; this area is predominant with an unfriendly stronghold. even preacher john bunyan skipped over this are because he detected an unfriendly spirit. travelers during summer spoke about it. always had to travel for fun.

Curious.... so what is your understanding of an "unfriendly spirit"? Is that a literal demon on the job? Or instead, is that a spiritual metaphor?
