A reader of R.E. Thomas, who has been his best friend of 42 years, expresses frustration that his bestie of 40+ years, who was not willing to get up early to drive him to the hospital for a procedure for a brain tumor a year ago, never showed up for the appointment and instead called the day before the procedure. This incident led to the end of the friendship. Thomas felt the loss of the relationship and decided to end it. His friends split on the situation, some believe it is unforgivable but others believe he should forgive her and rebuild the relationship. However, Thomas acknowledges that he is not obligated to feel any particular way about this relationship.
