I am so upset, this friend from church is leaving and applying for a religious ministry school out of state in the fall and then right after that is moving out of state to be with her boyfriend who is in the military and is stationed there next. Like forever. On top of that, she hasnt been going to small group and wont be going for the next month because shes in a play, and then she has a wedding to go to this summer that she is going to instead of going on this church road trip. Apparently the dates have already been set so she knows she wont be able to go on the trip. So I will never be able to see her ever again after this summer and on top of that she wont even be going on the church road trip which will be the last opportunity to go on the road trip with her ever! She said she wished she could go but had a close childhood friends wedding that same weekend.When I asked if she would ever be going on the trip again or if I would ever see her again she said ehh probably, we will see, I mean Im going to be so busy with my boyfriend aka future husband and we cant go on trips with the church or see each other forever. Like it was no big deal! Omg! I am so upset and she doesnt even care that she wont ever see me again.
I was just wondering if it would be unreasonable to ask the pastor to change the date of the trip (in August) so that she can go since this is the last chance I have at going on a trip with her and I wont ever see her again. And I cant drive so its not like I can just go visit her either.
Do you think I could ask her if we could plan a road trip of our own?

You're moving up. Normally you're whinging that you don't have any friends.

Hi there,
It can be hard as we get older to lose friends who go to college out of state, or relocate for any other reason. I remember going through a rough time after high school when many of my close friends began to 'spread their wings' in pursuit of adulthood. It is not uncommon to feel that a friend is drifting away when you enter into a new stage of your life. Try not to take this drifting away personally. I would encourage you to consider using this time as an opportunity to assess your plans, goals and interests, looking out for new people whom you'd like to befriend as well.
Have you thought about sharing your feelings with your friend, as you have here with us? I think that part of being a good friend involves being willing to take the initiative, being patient, open, respectful, and positive.
Praying for you!
