I have a dear friend of around 46 years (thoough we were out of touch for around 20 yrs, and missed her,but she refound me a few years ago!).
We've been phoning, then she switched to texting. Her younger sister (might be her closest of 3 sibs) suddenly had terrible medical problem of which it's been a slow road to recovery.

But she was still in touch. But I haven't heard from her since late July. I didn't realize it's been that long. : ( I also hope she hadn't gotten sick herself.

I hope your friends will get back in touch!
🤞
And yes, I enjoy your posts.
Enjoy your Holidays as best you can!
