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)

Refuge in the Shelter of Thy Wings





(The above picture is of Mike's mom, Cecile, who is 89 and is in a nursing home here in town.)

Mike has been trying to work as close to full days as possible this week, and has been doing well. This has been the first time he's been able to do this since he got sick last July. He gets a little tired by the end of the day, but we're both very thankful for the strength God has given him to do this. It helps him to feel "normal". Of course, he will miss Friday, due to the fact we'll be in Little Rock getting the scans done.

It is a difficult week so we continue to ask you to cover our family in prayer.

"From the end of the earth I call to Thee, when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength against the enemy. Let me dwell in Thy tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Thy wings." Psalm 61:2-4
