I feel terrible...
On Thanksgiving, a friend of mine back in DC called. We were serving dessert and it was just a hectic, long day, so I didn't pick up the phone and just let the message go into voice mail.
I forgot to check my voice mail the next day and the weekend got busy and I just figured I'd call her back this week.
Well, I just got a mass email a couple hours ago from a second friend announcing that her (the second friend's) dad died on Tuesday. Of course that reminded me to check my voice mail, and sure enough, that's what the first friend was calling to tell me.
It's too late on the east coast to call them now and I feel so awful for not checking my voice mail because I would have called immediately. I haven't been as good in keeping in touch with second friend since I moved out here, so that is adding to my guilt.
Ugh...I feel so bad for her. He's been battling cancer for a while, but she's getting married in April and I know she really was hoping he'd be able to attend her wedding.
Re: I feel terrible...
Oh, that's really sad. I'm so sorry for your friend's loss.
I'm guessing she understands, it being a holiday weekend and all... and honestly she probably has so much going on that she hasn't had time to think about who hasn't called her yet. As long as you contact her as soon as you can, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
Ugh, I know that sucky feeling, but knowing sooner wouldn't have helped anything. In the thick of it, I'm sure your friend was probably busy with family and not likely up for phone calls anyway.
I'm sorry for her loss and for you to be so far from her right now.
