My friend recently had elective foot surgery. Her 23-year-old daughter lives with her and has been taking care of meals, etc. I’ve checked in on whether my friend would like a special meal delivered. She has gluten allergies but I do know of one restaurant meal she enjoys. I told her I’d bring that when she was ready. I called and texted to check in regularly. I met her less than a year ago, and we’re not lifelong best friends or anything. After a while, her daughter called and said not to call anymore because I did not send flowers. I didn’t know that flowers were expected. We did go out once after her surgery and she seemed very snippy. She mentioned that her hairdresser had sent her flowers. I assumed she was in a bad mood because of pain. Apparently, this lady is now not speaking to me. Any advice?
