		<description><![CDATA[It was Mother’s Day in the US, but I was in London.  My daughter lives there and did all that she could to make it a special day for me, and she did a wonderful job. The thing is many holidays are bittersweet these days, and this one was, particularly this year. My Mom passed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time for a blog a friend tells me. He says he’s seeking some of my wisdom. Well, he’ll have to look good and long, for all that I typically expose is my own questions and sorrow, at least that’s how it seems to me. I’ve also gotten feedback about other things that people want to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the song that has been in my head all this holiday season. I can&#8217;t explain why, except that I didn&#8217;t know what to expect this year. Last year we went to London and avoided being home with the memories. This year brought new challenges, like what to do with Sean&#8217;s stocking and Christmas [...]]]></description>

I truly believe that the words that [...]]]></description>

I did start a habit of going to Mass on Sunday where we held Sean’s funeral, as I felt for awhile that his spirit was there, and I knew the spirit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have written a lot about Sean and how wonderful he was as a person and son. All of that is true. I have also chosen to advertise that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, type II, which is primarily depressive with hypomanic episodes. What does that mean? I have received some odd responses from [...]]]></description>

Of course, he speaks to me at times, at least I hear what he would have been saying to me: “Mom, don’t go there.”  “Quit while you’re ahead.” “Hi, Mama, Happy Mother’s Day. I’m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I cannot say enough about the quality of the music and the demeanor of the musicians. Sean would have been so honored, and I certainly was honored in his behalf. I was moved to tears to feel so much love for him and support for our cause. Lisa Love was an awesome emcee with the best job ever: introducing the Soul Shakers, Felix and the Cats with Jon Liebman, King Johnson, The Wood Brothers and Lurrie Bell. I would not pretend to be qualified to critique any music, but a tone deaf attendee wouldn’t have words to express the unbelievable talent that graced the stage in Sean’s honor.]]></description>
