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)

UPDATED- Laughter Does a Heart Good

Mike had a difficult day yesterday. It was hard watching him hurt and feel so bad. Later, yesterday afternoon, he decided to sit out in the sun for a little bit and watch his grandson play. God knew we needed a little "Sonshine". Drew has the perfect way of bringing a smile to our face and helping us to forget the battle for a moment. (attached video)

Mike woke up this morning (Wednesday) feeling better and he has gone into work. He has a little head cold possibly, but it doesn't look any worse than that. Nausea/stomach discomfort seem to be subdued for now, but Mike is being very careful with what he's eating to avoid any trouble. Fatigue and aches and pains are his hurdles this morning.

Thank you SO much for sending us your encouragement and prayers.
