I am so upset, this friend from church is leaving and applying for a religious ministry school out of state in the fall and then right after that is moving out of state to be with her boyfriend who is stationed there. Like forever. On top of that, she hasnt been going to small group and wont be going for the next month because shes in a play, and then she has a wedding to go to this summer that she is going to instead of going on this church road trip. Apparently the dates have already been set so she knows she wont be able to go on the trip. So I will never be able to see her ever again after this summer and on top of that she wont even be going on the church road trip which will be the last opportunity to go on the road trip with her ever! When I asked if she would ever be going on the trip again or if I would ever see her again she said ehh probably, we will see, I mean Im going to be so busy with my boyfriend aka future husband and we cant go on trips with the church or see each other forever. Like it was no big deal! Omg! I am so upset and she doesnt even care that she wont ever see me again.
I was just wondering if it would be unreasonable to ask the pastor to change the date of the trip (in August) so that she can go since this is the last chance I have at going on a trip with her and I wont ever see her again.

I'm guessing there's a fairly large group of people going on the trip, so asking the pastor to change it is also asking a bunch of people to rearrange schedules to accommodate one person. It's a bit selfish and you're likely to upset a bunch of people.

Moving apart is not the end of the world. There are tons of ways to keep in touch long distance. I haven't seen my best friend in 11 years, but we are closer than ever. I've lost touch with other people that were my friends because we drifted apart and I've made other friends. You'll survive even if you drift apart.
