In 2007, I began my original website, Sonshine's Haven. In 2007, it was turned into a blog and used to keep family updated on my first husband's fight with liver cancer. He passed away November of 2009. We were married for 34+ wonderful years and this journals some of that grief process I've gone through.

I have since remarried another widower, but Mike is missed dearly, and will always be a big part of my life.

At times, all of us will be called to act as witnesses to the suffering of another. We will be unable to affect the outcome physically. Words will fail us. Prayer will seem futile. And yet, the act of bearing witness to someone else's trials is a sacred sorrow that offers and astounding glimpse of eternal joy." by Ginger Garrett

"Being willing to stay with a loved one throughout their travail, can be difficult....YES! But offering yourselves as faithful companions on a dark and dreadful journey can be an unmeasured blessing." (paraphrased by me)

Labwork

This morning we went to the hospital and Mike had unscheduled bloodwork done. We don't expect to hear anything unless the counts aren't okay. It was just one of those things Mike did, to give me a little peace of mind. These past couple of weeks have been the first time Mike hasn't been asked to come in weekly for labwork, between treatments, and I was concerned it had been overlooked. It might be that the doctor feels assurred that Mike's labs will be alright, now that he is taking the Neulasta injections.

We would appreciate continued prayer for a sense of calm to come over both of us. For whatever reason, Mike is feeling a little more anxiety lately.

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27
