		<description><![CDATA[Phil departed the premises last night. It was time. (It was long PAST time, but I&#8217;m working pretty hard on this whole &#8220;saying yes&#8221; thing.) No tears were shed. Any residual sadness has been smoothed over with frozen dairy confection, and our house is once again a blessedly bug-free zone. By way of partial explanation [...]]]></description>

My daughter&#8217;s therapist gave it to me, and the looong preface that came with this particular loan rivaled even my wordiest attempts to clarify my experience. It was not a criticism, she said.
