My parents and I would really like my grandpa to come up for my sister's wedding.

But none of us know how to ask him. I know that he really likes me, so my mom is going to include that I want to see him again in the e-mail. However, she's really afraid that he's going to say no, and when she tries to convince him he'll keep saying no just to prove that he can't be swayed. Can anyone think of a way to ask him so that he'll understand and not get all mad about it? If you need more information just ask.

 

I may be new here but I can try and help you if you would like. How are your families relations with your grandfather? What kind of person is he.

 

Well, he divorced my Grandma when my mom was a kid, and he's been living in Florida ever since. He seems to try to keep his distance without actually getting disconnected.

Well, the wedding is this month, so an actual letter might take too long.

 

Try telling him that he is an irreplaceable part of your family and that this wedding is a special occasion that everyone would like for him to be a part of. Let him know how much he means to you guys and how much better it would be if he was there. Does this help?
