It's hard when friendships seem only one sided. You invite the other person to do things but they rarely if ever invite you to do something. You are the one to do all the calling and emails. When all someone does is politely replies to your efforts at a friendship it's hard to not get discouraged and give up.
I'm reminded of a Holly Hobbie place mat that I used to have. It said: To have a friend you have to be one. Looking at that mat over and over again really ingrained that thought in my head. So when I've felt like I don't have many friends from time to time I've asked myself: Am I being a good friend?
Personally - I believe you are a WONDERFUL and very special friend! I only hope I can be the same to you.
