Dear Queenie,
Back in high school three of us were best friends. A while ago the other 2 had an argument that led to a falling out and haven’t spoken to each other since. I am still friends with both of them, but separately.
Now one of them is very sick and has to have an operation, and if it is not successful she might die. I would like to tell the other one about it in case she might want to make up their quarrel before it is too late, but I don’t want to upset the sick one or make her angry.
Queenie, what should I do?—Friend in between
Dear Friend,
This should be your sick friend’s decision. Ask your sick friend whether it would be all right with her if you spoke to your other friend, and abide by your sick friend’s wishes.
