Is the friendship done? in Torridaussity Two

So those of you reading lately know of the situation where my friend did something stupid that crossed the line of friendship and I wasn't all that bothered by it cause I've liked him and hoped maybe he was testing the waters and things were off with us a few days and then he said he was sorry he was drunk.
Before he did that I had planned on writing him a nice letter telling him how he was such a good friend and that I'll always be there for him especially while he is deployed and some other nice things, but never being more than a friend in the letter. I also sent him the pictures he had asked for awhile back. The packaged was delivered a week ago and he has said not one word about it and as I have written I am crushed that he didn't even acknowledge that he received it.
I thought our friendship was more solid than that. I get hurt easily and I care too much and I love people too much. I have already forgiven him especially as he doesn't even know he hurt me because I can't stand awkward situations so I won't tell him he did. Well I didn't know if I could reach out to him because of feeling to hurt, but with him deploying I don't want things to be unsettled at least on my part unsettled.
The other day I had a dream that he wrote me a letter about his deployment and so I thought I can use that as a way to reach out with out mentioning the package directly. I wrote to him and said how random I had a dream last night that you mailed me a letter and I don't think in real life I've ever even gotten an email from you lol and he has said nothing and I know he got the message. So tonight I decided I would write again and I said well I think you should have received your mail by now and hopefully you liked the surprise and if not sorry for getting your hopes up. You see he knew I was mailing something, but I wouldn't tell him what and he was all excited by it. I am not sorry I sent him an honest letter about how important he is because of my challenge I am doing to be more connected and honest to people as if I only had 30 days to live and I needed to write that letter. If that is what made him mad or if he is just being an ass, then I am not sure I can be friends with him as my perception was so off of him and I just can't have negative people in my life.
This whole situation is making me sick inside and I am crying left and right. I care about people all the time more than they care about me and it tears me apart. I can't do it right now, I am losing the battle to be happy. I am hoping he at least writes me back but if he doesn't then I guess I don't' have to end things I would take that as a sign as to how important I was to him as a friend.

This just makes my heart hurt for you. How do people do this to their friends? How do they make that choice to abandon them and not return the same level of care that their friends show them? How is avoiding the subject doing him any good or you any good? He is losing an amazing friend here when he doesn't need to. I have more questions than answers, as I'm sure you do as well.
I sincerely hope he writes back. To not share his words and feelings with you is just.. it's not right.

I ask myself the same thing, why didn't he even acknowledge that he got it, it's okay if he doesn't want to share his feelings if I made things awkward somehow, but why not at least say thanks for the pictures, he asked me for those, I didn't just mail them to be nice. I am so lost as to how I could have been so wrong.

I think that if this friendship means this much to you - I would call him and talk on the phone, just come out and ask what is going on - talk it over - because that is what good friends do, they clear the air :) good luck :)
