losing my mom was bad enough . . .

[DollyM]

9. kind of what I thought . . .

but my brother sees it differently. He thinks just because he called her four times a year that he knows everything about her and he is sure that he was supposed to have more money from her. No proof of that, he is knows it. My attorney says not to stress over it that it is his word against mine but it still hurts. Today I went to feed the animals and one cat was missing, I looked all over the house and found it huddled up stairs in the attic where they had left the door open and it escaped there to get away from them. If it had gone any farther it would have hit open space and fall down between the walls and I would have been calling the fire department to come tear out a wall to rescue a cat--and then sent them the bill! I went back just a few minutes ago and that poor cat is so spooked, it would hardly come to me. But they treated my mom like crap so why should they care about what was important to her, her animals. I tell you one thing this experience has taught me, I went and had a Will made and since my only child was killed in a car accident three years ago, I made my neighbors and good friends more sole beneficiaires of everything I own. I also put it in my Will about the care of the animals. They are animal lovers too so i know they will do right by them if something happened to me. In fact, their teenage daughter is so good that she comes over and walks my mom's dog every couple of days just because she wants to. Now those are family, people that you can count on, not people who are related to you by blood that could care less about you.
