		<description><![CDATA[Whether we like it or not, our experiences change. It&#8217;s an inevitable product of life. Sometimes these changes require very little of us.

Some changes, however, demand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Six months ago my son&#8217;s father-in-law suffered a massive heart attack requiring emergency intervention and four stents. Feeling short of breath a few weeks ago, he visited his Cardiologist and, within three days, had an urgent quadruple bypass. This man has a zest for life that I have personally never seen in another person. I [...]]]></description>
