We made very bad assumptions.
We fessed up right away to the uncle and he's forgiving. Thank the
Lord for that. We didnt 'mean' bad and were just stupid.

I don't think you were stupid. I think there is a miscommunication and
the doc really wants nothing to do with the family it seems. So your
issue is the doc and you did right to write her off.

Whole family wrote them off. It wasnt just us. Not a big family mind you
but word got about and we had nothing to do with it. Happened before we got
back stateside. No one wants to talk with them now. I get the impression
they take that against us too?

Want the real kicker? SIL had MIL's dog put to death instead of
adopted out. He was 'too much trouble'. Had we only gotten back a
year earlier..... He was a great dog.

Ohhhhh... that makes me hopping mad. That alone, even if the other had
not happened, would have made me completely write her off. Period.

Us too. We did do a final card last Xmas as a 'Ms Manners' sort of thing.
There will be no more after her rudest of rude return.

We do not have a good connection to the rest of the family but we have a
little bit and slowly it's growing. I have a great aunt who seems into
cheese making and another one who's sending me Maxine cartoons and petfood
coupons.

Meantime, we are happy and healthy and have 2 rescue pets, both considered
'unadoptable'. Daisy-cat spent 18 months looking for a home due to
behaviorial issues with children (still cant pick her up and not good with
kids under age 12 if they force the issue instead of letting her hide).
Cash-beagle-mix (good ol' hound doggie Johnny Cash) had heart worms and
heart damage from them and needs careful treatment the rest of his life (not
expected to see age 10 and chancy if he will see age 8).

Suprisingly the family are contacting us bit by bit. It's sort of like
'gee, didnt they have another child who we saw with his wife that one day?'

Our Uncle seems to be slowly passing our address around and we respond to
each card with well wishes and a bit on how we are. The cheese maker one
got home yard grown herbs for her use (probably didnt need'em but the
thought counts that we tried) and the one who sends us petfood coupons got
pics of our two chowing out then 'living in sin' as they slept together on
the sofa.

So, (grin) maybe I think a money tree is ok, but I'm far from unacceptable.
If I have a problem, it's that I'm apt to be too nice. Not a horrible
epithet to have when all is done and gone, to be remembered for.

Maybe not 'classy' in the classic sense, but we have fun and folks like us.
