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)

Tomorrow's Treatment and Visit

Mike will be seeing his oncologist tomorrow and he will also be having a chemotherapy treatment, which takes about 4 1/2 hours. As we discuss with the doctor, when to schedule tests and how to proceed with treatments, please pray that Mike and I will sense God's presence and peace. These oncology appointments seem to cause a lot of anxiety for Mike and I, because in times before, there has been some inconsistancy with what we've been told previously.

Please pray the information shared will remain on the right track, that the doctor will be positive in relating with us, and that we'll be reminded God is in control.

Also, in the days which will follow the treatment, please pray for protection over Mike's body in receiving these treatments, that his lungs and heart will especially be protected, and that the only "damage", be done to the tumor.

Thank you for being faithful with your prayers and in your encouragement to Mike and our family.
