		<description><![CDATA[My dad&#8217;s mom had surgery the same day as the memorial service for my mom&#8217;s mom, and she had a hard time (as a matter of fact is still in the hospital now, 3 weeks later).

		<title>You Need a Living Will! Yes, I Do Mean You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s start with a definition of Living Will. This has nothing to do with who gets what when you die. A living will has to do with how decisions are made about your health when you can&#8217;t make them.

		<title>Grandma&#8217;s Memorial Welcoming Speech</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello, and welcome on behalf of myself and my family, to this memorial and celebration of my grandmother&#8217;s life. Family, extended and immediate, official and unofficial, and community meant a lot to her.

		<title>Musings on Ritual</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been around much lately. On top of the busyness I was expecting: finding an apartment, moving, preparing for David&#8217;s visit, my grandma was sick, and then she died. And now we&#8217;re in the aftermath. I should clarify. My &#8230; <a href="http://firesika.com/2010/07/musings-on-ritual/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Hospital thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The food has started coming. Gifts of food from friends. Who have all done this before. Too often, too recently. I&#8217;m not hungry I hate stoves like this, all flat taking forever to warm up and even longer to cool &#8230; <a href="http://firesika.com/2010/07/hospital-thoughts/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Grandma in the Hospital</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s so weird, listening to a person you love being reduced to sentences and words. She likes . . . She did . . . . Justifying her life to a stranger.

		<title>1 Julio: My favorite day in Parismina</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last full day in Parismina, I was starting to worry about not seeing any turtles. We had protected a nest, and examined a recently hatched nest, but there were oddly few turtles to be seen.

		<title>What Else I Learned about Turtles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Parismina is wicked humid; bright and shiny humid, and over 90º after midday. As a plus, all that sun helps my Chaco tan lines make a reappearance, which makes me happy. It cools down a bit at night, but it &#8230; <a href="http://firesika.com/2010/07/what-else-i-learned-about-turtles/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
