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)

Pool Party


What better medicine could there be than to look off your porch and see your grandbabies (and their mommies) splashing and playing? The kids never realized their fun could be just what Mike needed. What a blessing they are!
Mike was feeling a little more like himself today. He laid down for about 3 hours this afternoon before they came and that helped him have some extra gusto while the grandbabies were here. He was strong enough to charcoal-grill hamburgers for the kiddos.
Thank you for praying for us. We're getting through this day by day.
I have one more update to ask for continued pray about. Our son, Matt (Drew's daddy), is being tested for a job position on June 16th. He will be studying for the next few weeks, and we would appreciate your prayers, not only in his taking this test, but in getting this position he's hoping and praying for. Thank you so much.
