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)

On the Mend

Just wanted to let everyone know Mike is doing well this morning. He is back at work again today. He has some minor nasal congestion from either a head cold, or allergies, but it hasn't been too annoying for him. The queasiness comes and goes, but he's not needing to be as guarded with what he's eating, as he had been the last 4-5 days. Weakness and body aches are still an issue (and really never completely go away), but he "exercised" by playing his drums for over an hour last evening. The drums have ended up being a huge blessing, motivating Mike to move, even when he doesn't really feel like it. I believe he's pulling away from the worse, following this past treatment, and is on the mend.

We can not thank you enough for your faithful prayers and emotional support, especially these past few days. We still have the CT Scan to face next Friday, April 25th, but Mike and I are feeling God's peace, and are trusting we will receive good news.
