signing off...

This past Saturday morning I saw my OB/GYN at our kids basketball game. I told him I had gotten an awesome report at the liver specialist. He said he already knew because Dr. Galati had told him. Apparently, he saw a miracle and had to tell someone.

The dictionary defines miracle as "an extraordinary event attributed to some supernatural agency." But I know better...I know that is attributed to One: God. At the bottom of all of my emails I put "Expect miracles!" I was expecting a miracle in overcoming my illness and I birthed it - with God and my faithful prayer warriors on my side!

I will greatly miss doing this blog. At first I had my reservations. After all, my first words posted were "Let's give this a try..." My natural personality is to keep things private so it was a bold step for me to write my feelings for all to see. But to see your responses and your prayers was a boon in the midst of my sadness. Being able to share my new outlook on life was refreshing. So that is why I write this last post with great trepidation.

Please know that one of the many, many things I have learned in this process is how important it is to pray and help others in their time of need - just as you all have. I, too, want to "Practice Aloha" in my everyday life. With this in mind, please email me prayer requests or any such matters at dwtrozzo@aol.com.

I do still ask for your prayers: While there is no such thing as remission for my disease, I can continue to work and pray hard that I idle (or get even better) in this stage. I will continue on my diet, take my medications and take care of my "temple" so as not to relapse.

I know that I am one of the lucky ones. All your hard work as my prayer warriors will not go to waste. God obviously has more for me to do here on earth. "I am confident that the good works God has begun in me will be perfected." (Phil. 1:6)

Thank you!
