Someone is "waving" at me on Facebook

So what exactly is that about? This is the wife of a man that I messaged a couple of months ago about some photos I had for him of a family member of his who he grieves over and pays tribute to every year on the person's birthday. . Long story. So both he and the wife friended me but I never accepted the requests. I simply continued to communicate with him via Facebook messages/messenger about my getting some help with improving the photos and sending them on to him and deceased person's adult child who also wants them.

So last night for some reason (maybe my finger slipped?) I got notification that the wife is now my friend. Then I unfriended her.

There's nothing wrong with these folks, I just really have no reason to be Facebook friends with them. I don't "collect" friends on Facebook if you know what I mean--maybe they do?

Anyway, today I got a "[Janie] is waving at you!" notification.

Is that her doing something or is that Facebook doing it prompting me to friend her since I friended/unfriended her yesterday?

Anyone know what that's about?

It’s her. She would get a notice that you friended her, but not that you unfriended her. She’s probably just saying hi.

I don't even know why she wants me. To my knowledge I never met her or knew her. I'm thinking she's one of those people who collects friends and I don't like being collected.
