TL;DR Summary
A woman is heartbroken after her friend of 50 years ended their friendship because she didn't want to wear a mask on a trip to Canada due to anxiety. The woman apologized and tried to explain that it had nothing to do with their friendship, but her friend refused to listen. Annie Lane advises reaching out to the friend again and expressing how much the friendship means to her.
