Hello Carolyn: I went to your column specifically to see whether I am the only one hurt by not receiving thank-yous for gifts sent. I see I am not. I thought maybe it's just an "older generation" expectation. I don't even mind a text or email … just something. We give just a little card and present to young relatives to let them know we love them and that we are not going to forget that they are part of the family. I am so close to not sending those gifts anymore. Tell us: What's your favorite Carolyn Hax column about love? — C. Read Carolyn's Response   What's your favorite Carolyn Hax column about love?
