		<title>Importance of Visitors</title>

		<title>Reflection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have recently been reflecting on Bernie’s death that occurred six months ago, on Christmas day. Not having his physical presence has not become any easier with the passing of time. And so, I have started to reflect on the blessings that have been given to me since his death, 180 days ago.
