Ask Amy: Singleton does the chicken dance at wedding
My best friend of more than 40 years did not call or send a card or gift.
I received an acknowledgement on Facebook, but it was nothing notable.
We live five minutes from each other and see each other frequently.
We were together a week after my birthday. Again, she never mentioned it.
We have not had an argument.

Help this old lady deal with this breach in friendship.
