		<description><![CDATA[I remember sitting in my hospital bed, looking out the window. The nurse had just been in with the results of the scans and the conclusions drawn based on them. She&#8217;d seen the look on my face and asked if I wanted something to calm me down before the surgery the next day. I was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notbychoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10126472&amp;post=17&amp;subd=notbychoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I come from a big and very tightknit family. I wasn&#8217;t just &#8220;raised&#8221; by my parents. I grew up with all four grandparents and dozens of aunts and uncles and cousins living so close to my home that by the age of eight I could ride my bike to visit them on my own. And [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notbychoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10126472&amp;post=15&amp;subd=notbychoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am ambiguous about this. The first entry pretty much wrote itself. I guess it had been fermenting inside me for so long that I didn&#8217;t even have to think to gather the words. They were right there, waiting to be spoken. Now, with them committed to “paper” I find myself at a loss as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notbychoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10126472&amp;post=11&amp;subd=notbychoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s taken me time to get to this place. Years, in fact. But as time passes it has become clear to me that this isn&#8217;t going to go away. Thoughts once fleeting and almost curious in nature now linger and take root &#8211; hurt, even. They stay with me. And I with them. Perhaps, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notbychoice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10126472&amp;post=5&amp;subd=notbychoice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
