Dear June,
I live on the West Coast, and my brother, sister, and other extended family live on the East Coast. My parents and grandparents are deceased. My only daughter got married very recently. Of course, we invited all my East Coast family. Right after the engagement was announced, many of them texted, called, and assured they would attend the wedding. As the wedding grew closer and invitations were mailed, I noticed texting and calls from them began to stop. My husband made a couple of phone calls encouraging them to come and how important it was to us to have them present for the wedding.
