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)

In Memory of Jim Johnson

(Pictured above, is my little sister, Jaime, Jim, and I, September 2006)


Today, I lost a special person in my life,
my step-father, Jim Johnson.
He was one of the sweetest men you could ever know
and would have given the shirt off his back to help you.
He recently had been fighting Luekemia and Prostate Cancer.
His Luekemia was in remission.
He died this morning of a heart attack in Florida
and he will be sorely missed.

As some of you already know,
I lost my own father to a heart attack, last August, just as suddenly.
Please pray for my little sister. Her heart is broken.
