Do you have her email?
Personally, I would just call her up out of the blue and say, “Hey, it’s me!!! I’ve been thinking of you and I just had to call!!!”

A letter was a good idea - a card that is appropriate for the person.
May God bless your attempts. I have a few of these relationships that need mending too. But I have not been very obedient lately.

Hello Friend.
I think it depends on what/who caused the “break” in the friendship.
I have a good friend from years ago who cut me off, even sent my letters back with nasty writing written all over the outside of the envelope, etc., when I urged her NOT to divorce her husband, because God hates divorce and her family is worth anything to get it back together, even if it means forgiving hubby for things, and making attempts to reconcile. She couldn’t think of such, and hates me for suggesting it. I have written some post-cards to her, telling her I love her, forgive her, and if she’ll forgive me for anything I’ve said to offend her, and she has not budged. This was 3 or 4 years ago now.
If you do what YOU can, the rest is up to her. Just pray for them.
But if this is new, by all means make every attempt, after you have done that, let it go, and rely on God to change hearts.

If it’s a friendship that just drifted apart after moving or graduating college, and there were no bitter words passed, it’s not as hard as you would think. Do a google search on the friend’s name if you don’t have her current contact info, and call or email her. I’ve been there and done that! It’s scary at first, and if you’re like me, you hope to God that they still remember you, but in the vast majority of cases, they’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear from you. There’s no need to apologize for not staying in contact–they are guilty of the same thing. They may have even been wanting to get back in touch, but didn’t know how to get a hold of you. A high school friend and I regain contact with each other every 3 years or so, with no animosity for having drifted apart again.
