		<description><![CDATA[A colleague and his wife are &#8220;expecting&#8221; and like many parents-to-be are in a quandary over choosing a name for the new addition to their family. Their difficulty in choosing a name reminded me of choosing a name for my daughter.

		<description><![CDATA[ As I sit here tonight and watch the new star that I have found in the heavens, memories collide and I am reminded of a sweaty little palm that held tightly onto my hand, a palm that, too quickly, slipped from my grasp.

According to the Telegraph1, Mercy has spent the majority of her life in the Home of Hope orphanage in Mchinji, where Madonna, also found her first adoptive child, David Banda.

		<description><![CDATA[A comment by a reader of Blogging for Bitter Women  made me remember the day I wanted to do cartwheels in the parking lot.
