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)

Some days are just better than others. Today is a better day!

Mike is feeling better and he isn't as down as he was yesterday. He spent this morning devising a plan to network with his professional friends, and resolved some disability issues that have kept his stomach in knots for a few days. This past weekend, and yesterday, he was in somewhat of a tailspin.

There has been so much to adjust to. We are doing our best, coping with everything coming our way, trying to have a positive testimony, and keeping everyone informed. Unfortunately, some days knock us off our feet, and yesterday was one of them. Thank you for your understanding, your continued prayers and encouragement.

Mike's part time job will be from 4-7 p.m.-Monday thru Friday's, so that will leave his days open for doctor appointments, treatments, etc., and when that becomes familiar to him, it should help give him purpose to his days and make time pass a little easier.

Tomorrow we head to Little Rock for the CT. We plan to treat ourselves to lunch after the scan, and then hope to have a little fun shopping for Drew's birthday present, if Mike doesn't wear out too quickly.

Please remember us in your prayers. We don't expect to hear anything until Mike's appointment with Dr. Sneed, July 24th. But there was talk a few weeks ago, if the CT returned showing no tumor, a PET scan might be ordered to double-check for any signs of cancer.

Thank you for carrying us with your prayers and we will continue to keep you updated.

"I called to the Lord in my distress, and I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry to Him reached His ears." Psalm 18:6
