I have a good friend, but now she is very busy at work. We do not see each other often, and I start to feel sad. Sometimes I want to go and visit her, but I worry it will take her time. Should I just let her be, or is there a good way to keep our friendship strong?
You can give your friend a simple message to say hello. Do not wait for a special day—small messages can keep you close. You can also ask, “When can we meet?” and let her choose a good time. If you go to see her, try to keep your visit short, so she does not feel tired. When she comes to you, take time to listen and talk about her day. Friendships can change when life gets busy, but if you both try, you will keep your bond strong.
