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)

Up and Down

Today isn't a good day for Mike. He came home around lunch time saying he hurt all over and he was feeling sick to his stomach. He finally gave up and took some medicine to help. That makes him sleepy, so he's in bed. Hopefully, when he wakes up, he will feel much better.

This last treatment has had us guessing. We had become use to a certain pattern, following the treatments, but this time things have been different. We keep praying these are only good signs that the treatments are doing their job, beating up the tumor.

Thank you for continuing to keep Mike in your thoughts and prayers, and thanks also for the messages of comfort and encouragement you have been giving us. We can't begin to say how much that has meant to us, keeping our hearts lifted through all of this.

"For You know the plans You have for me, Lord. Plans to prosper me and not harm me, plans to give me hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
