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)

No News this Week

It appears like we'll need to wait through the weekend to get this matter of prayer resolved (unrelated to Mike's health). We thank you for understanding that we're not able to share any specifics, and just would appreciate your continued prayers. We hope to be able to update you soon.
Mike has been feeling very good this week. He even mowed the front and back lawn today on the riding lawn mower. He's resting now, but he has felt so grateful to feel more like his old self.
Thursday, June 12th, will be his next treatment.

"Teach us to wait patiently in silence...
To trust Your guiding hand,
Your perfect will, Your steadfast love
Even when we're feeling most alone.
Teach us to ask, not why, but what...
What do You want us to learn from this, Lord...
What does it mean to our walk with You,
In our relationship with You and others?
Let us seek, more than reasons, Your wisdom,
More than answers, Your approval,
More than Your peace,
Your blessed presence in our life."

Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help,
and He will say: Here am I.
Isaiah 58:9
