Sometimes ‘sorry’ certainly does seem the hardest word. More often than not a rift happens because the friend says something in one frame of mind while the other friend is in a very different place and the intended subtlety is missed.

The assumption that we are all on the same page and possess mind reading powers, it’s happened on here for instance, can be the cause of the seed of doubt getting sewn. A true friend is beyond value, especially when needed or needful. I would always ask if we were alright, just to make sure before assuming the worst.
