I have this friend of 5 yrs. We get together every several months & our main method of communication is email, but lately, we've texted each other too.
I email her an ordinary email on June 14th to say hi & see how things were going. She replied & wrote nothing to be considered a red flag. I replied back on the 15th, but this day have never heard back from her & this is unlike her. I emailed her a 2nd time on the 26th & then texted her on July 2nd & yesterday the 9th & still nothing.
I just called her cell & home #s & the voicemail's on for both so I left the same detailed message saying I'm wondering if she's alright & left my #s.
I'm dying of curiosity of what happened! I Googled her name & it doesn't bring up too much. One site did list possible relatives. I called one of those #s, but it was a business, so wrong # there! I never knew if she had a Facebook or Twitter account.
I don't know squat about her husband. She never talks about him. She's a 50/51 yr old grandmother & watches her grandkids all ths time. (I'm a lot younger than her) It was either her mother or adult daughter who lives around the corner from her, I think...don't know exactly or what their names are. Her father lives in Vegas, but I wouldn't know his name or how to contact him.
Even on a l ong trip, people have their cell phones/iPads. She's never not replied back to me before. I don't have any #s of her friends/family. I have her address. She lives a good 1 - 1.5 hrs away, so I'd be taking a big risk just showing up, not knowing who's home if I still couldn't reach her. She lives with her husband as far as I know.
It's been less than a month. I will sometimes not talk to my best friend for 2 months. Give it a rest for a while and try again in a week or two. She may be really busy or having some sort of crisis. YOu've let her know you're there - she can reach out if she needs you.
Without knowing anyone else to contact there really isn't much you can do but hope to hear from her soon. There could be any number of reasons she has not contacted you yet. I hope it is nothing serious on her end and that she has just been extremely busy or on an over seas extended vacation.
If you know that a relative lives around the corner, and you know which house it is, leave a note in the mailbox saying you're worried, and ask them to call you.
Well, I finally heard from her. She said she was sorry for taking a long time & appreciated my concern, so I guess all's good. Now, we may not be the closest frirend's, but she had a rather nonchalant tone in her email reply. She said her computer died, her iPhone fell in the pool, AND she hardly checks her landline home phone...YET she tells me she talked to another friend last week, so how was she able to talk wih her?! Plus my friend had an iPad all along, which is how she finally reached me. Oh well, whatever.
I'll get back to her in a day or two.

News Flash, some people over the age of 50 STILL do not use glasses and others got glasses at the age of 7 (like my brother)...........
I'm wondering what this has to do with it as well. And BTW, 50 is NOT old at all.
