REMISSION!

They finally said that wonderful word today!  Mom is officially in remission.  I was just rereading the subtitle to this blog, and when I wrote "journey of healing," it seemed like wishful thinking.  After the last visit, my dad asked me if I thought mom's healing had been a miracle.  At the time, I didn't know what to say.  I didn't feel qualified to speak about miracles.  But the more I have thought about it, the more I believe that it is a miracle, however you happen to define them-- spiritual, religious, medical, natural-- this certainly qualifies!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  If you are reading this, you have probably done so many things, small and large to help Rosie and all of us.  She is grateful for all the prayers, cards, thoughts, meals, gifts, blessings that have flowed her way.  We could not have done this without everyone's support!  At least, we could not have made it through so gracefully and feeling so loved and connected.

Lots of love,
jk

PS I will put up pictures soon!
