Like many of my readers, I use Google Voice for both texting and for making phone calls from selected devices. But, for the most part, I use it as a pass through service, so that my friends can call me and not need to know whether I am picking up on my land line or cell phone. So, I was very surprised to find out that someone had dialed my number.
A while back, I had a nasty separation from a friend who was once close to me, as if she was a sister. Sadly, due to circumstances I won't mention again, we haven't been in contact for over a year. So I was very surprised to see the following missed call in Google Voice:

Although I seriously doubt that she'd want to call me after a year of being out of contact, I figure that I'd take the opportunity to send her a birthday card and to remove her from my blocked caller list.
Will she call back, or try to contact me via other means? Who knows. But I will be extremely careful if she wants to rebuild a friendship. She very well could have been a catalyst in my ex-girlfriend's decision to break up with me. And if so, I don't want her in a position to cause me any more problems.
