DEAR ABBY: I’m a Christian. I’ve raised my family to be Christians, and they have raised theirs to be Christians, even though we may not all be members of the same denomination.
One of my grandsons believes that his denomination is the only one and the rest of us are all sinners. He and his wife have decided that no one outside of his church can see his child. It’s his decision, his choice, but I’m heartbroken and, of course, angry. I’m afraid my great-grandchild will grow up never knowing his great-grandparents or his grandparents. I believe that I will never know him.
I told my grandson I understand that this is his family and, therefore, his choice. He knows I’m heartbroken. Since they won’t be coming to family gatherings, how should I handle gifts in the future? Should I acknowledge the baby and send a gift in the mail? I pray that someday soon my grandson realizes that we love him and his family. — PRINCIPLED IN FLORIDA
