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)

A Better Day

Today seems to be a better day for Mike. He has been up moving around more, already taking a walk, and drumming. He says he's feeling a little achy, probably from the Neulasta injection, but his stomach has seemed to settle down, at least for now.

Yesterday evening, the kids and the grandkids were over, and Mike soared on the adrenaline of seeing them. The grandkids are always the best form of medicine for Mike. We had a nice Fourth of July together, with the kids preparing most of the food. Matt bought a few fireworks to celebrate the holiday, but Ethan wore out before dark, and Drew was terrified after the first sparkler. So grandma and Drew watched fireworks on TV, which is about as close as Drew wanted to get!

Thank you for continuing to think about our family and praying for us.

"And now, just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust Him, too, for each day's problems; live in vital union with Him." Colossians 2:6
