It's the "best as they see it" that trips us all up at some point, I expect. It's easy sometimes for me to assume that everyone does (or should) see the world from my perspective. But why should they? Goodness knows I often don't see the world from theirs. I am frequently humbled by my own limitations in interpersonal areas, especially given all the skills and experience I have in doing better. And it gets complicated by the fact that we still have to deal with the consequences of other people's behavior, regardless of their intentions. I'm sorry that people are behaving badly with your insurance and adoption. Those aren't emotion-light situations even in the best of times. Hang in there! It sure is, Mark.

But, it doesn't take but a moment to reflect that I'm sure they are doing their best as they see it, even if it's causing a lot of pain and trouble over here. Ahhh... life. Humbling, ain't it?
