Need to Vent - hurt feelings

[AlaskaWife]

So my best friend from college, who was my maid of honor, and I have sort of been drifting apart over the last few years since I moved to another state. That's life, and it can be a challenge to maintain those friendships. Anyways we both found out we were pregnant about the same time, and it was actually a good way to reconnect. We discussed our symptoms, and plans, and all that. Then I had a miscarriage, but I told her that I still cared and wanted to know everything about her pregnancy and wanted her to share that with me. We talked less but we still talked.

Then she sent me an invitation to her baby shower, we both knew I couldn't come to since I live so far away but it was still nice to get one. So I decided to make a quilt for the baby. I spent weeks on it, which was really really hard for me. I broke down in tears almost every time I worked on it, because I was supposed to be making a quilt for my baby, which I don't get to do now. Not to mention as I draw closer to my due date I'm having an understandably hard time.

Anyways her shower was a couple days ago and I never heard a thing from her, not a phone call, not a text, not a Facebook message, nothing. That's not why I made it for her. I was honestly just trying to do a nice thing, but not saying thank you for any gift is rude. It just really hurts since I put my heart and soul into making it for her. It was such an emotional thing and I just feel like it was unappreciated. I haven't asked her how her shower was or anything, because I'm stubborn and don't want to have to pry for a thank you. Anyways that's my vent. Thank you for listening. I feel a little better already.

I'm so sorry that you're hurt. Maybe she will write thank you cards soon since the shower was just a couple of days ago. She really should have called to say thank you for making such a special gift though

It did take me some time to write my thank you cards after my shower because I wrote quite a bit on each card because I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that I was grateful. Maybe she will call or write soon.

That was very kind of you to make her a quilt. My most treasured gifts are the ones that people took the time to make themselves.
