		<description>Dear Victoria,
Thank you so much for sharing your loss with us and your touching tribute to your husband, Craig. I am thinking of you and your son, and the rest of your family. I can imagine that this is a devastating loss. Please know how much we appreciate you, and we are fortunate to call you friend.

		<description>Philip, I know from personal experience what a comfort the Blotanical network can be, thanks to the sympathy and support of people like you. It's great to see you back. (My son and I loved the Andy Goldsworthy post, btw). Thanks also for your message over on my blog.
Love and hugs, Victoria</description>

		<description>Oh, Philip, you humble person, you. You are one of the all time favs, I have no doubt. You're certainly one of mine. One quality I admire so much is your utter respect for all the beings I've seen you interact with. Very kind. Very intelligent. Very thorough.
And charming. Thanks for being who you are. xoxo</description>

		<description>Hi Philip, what an outstanding case you have made for blotanical.  Most of my readers come from it also.  I have had the feeds problems twice and both times it was horrible to be without my friends.  Very lonely.  Finally I switched to wordpress and all seems right with the world of blot for now.  Your kind, gentle, enthusiastic voice is one I always relish reading.  To think that you didn't want to show your own garden in the beginning shows how far you have come in allowing people into your world.  I love reading your take on your surroundings and even the comments you leave on other's posts, always supportive and comforting.  Thanks for all you do.

		<description>Philip, you big whiner!  LOL, I am more lost than you on a good day! I also lost my computer to something or other and had a geek by who "corrected" things and made me aware of some pretty startling deficiencies. I felt like a bug collector. The thing was, I also missed by Blotanic friends, so I feel your pain. Obviously, since I am here and all, I come by as often as I can, and for all the best reasons. You, sir, are de Man!~Keep it up!</description>

		<description>Congratulations on being back, but can I confess something?  Reading your post confirmed what I suspected: I don't really know how to do anything on Blotanical.  I guess I need to sit down and try to figure it out, I joined months ago, and that's as far as I got.  Then you do things like post and read things there?  Man, I am really missing out.  Must find "blotanical for dummies" somewhere.</description>
