I have wildly variable ideas of what "being around for me" means. Levels of contact that feel like one person giving up on a friendship with me will feel like perfectly normal SOP from another friend. In your case, my baseline is "Shweta will e-mail when she gets the chance," not, "Shweta will e-mail weekly," or fortnightly, or "will visit when she's in town once a year" or anything like that. So while I would not at all mind more of you in my life, I do not in the least feel that you've evaporated on me. I don't think I would even if I wasn't counting your own health issues to wrangle.
