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)

Thank you for Your Prayers

Thank you for remembering Mike in your prayers today. He's been pretty tired. He worked a couple of hours late this morning, but came home at noon, and slept until 4 p.m. I was hoping he might wake up with more energy, but he didn't. I guess the chemo is doing it's job.

We've had to be very careful with Mike being around family the past couple of days. Drew (our 18 month old grandson) is running a fever. Drew and his parents are temporarily living on our property while building their house, so we see Drew often...much to our delight. We've just had to be extra careful the last couple of days, keeping Drew at a distance from Mike.

Please pray Mike will be protected from any viruses while on these treatments. Because he's trying to continue working, and is exposed to many people where he works, and because we have little ones in our family who pick up viruses easily, the risk is greater for him to be exposed to something. Thank you for covering him with your prayers.

"I call on You, O God, for You will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. Show the wonder of Your great love, You who save by Your right hand those who take refuge in You from their foes. Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings." Psalm 17:6-8
