First you're going to need the backstory. If you don't want to read it skip to the bottom with "tl;dr"
When I was around 3-5 years old I had a really good friend. She's the same age as me, my neighbor and we went to kindergarten together but we knew each other for a long time before then. We went our separate ways after that, because my parents decided another school was better. Not much interaction after this point.
Something like 9 Years Later...
High school...Since we both attended Catholic schools, not Catholic btw, we ended up in the same high school. So yeah she's here and I'm here and we never talk. She's a little different now(no ****) and is quieter and I can never seem to bring myself to talk to her.
Present day: Over a decade later.
I'm in my Grade 12 year. Everything's going fine except my Math and Physics mark but whatever. In mid-late November her father passed away. I guess you could say I knew him. When we were young I was taken care by their family a lot. So yeah, this hit her family hard but she took it well. I hand delivered(left of the doorstep) a comfort note. She took it kindly and we talked for about <1min. I went to the funeral and that was 3 weeks ago.
tl;dr: She was an important part of my life and so was her father.
The question: How do I rekindle a relationship that has more than a decade's worth of dust on it?
It's hard to talk to her at school because she's always surrounded by her friends and she doesn't talk to guys at all. Also I just want to be friends for now.
Is this just all a bad idea?
Thanks in advanced H2V for your (assumed) input.
