Kym...I'm glad you cried, even though I'm not glad that your friend didn't go to your handbell concert. Maybe it would be okay to tell your friend that you would really like it if he/she came to see you in the concert next year, and that it would mean a lot too you? That way you are keeping the tone positive. Want to send some hugs to you, as I can feel your disappointment! (((hugs))) xx
