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)

Saturday Morning

My father is still on the 10th floor at Baptist. He will remain there at least another day due to "relapse pulmonary edema". I'm not sure I even said that right, but basically after the procedure to drain the fluid from his lungs, they are still "wet" inside which is causing his difficulties. He did have two units of blood given to him yesterday and the goal for today is to wean him off of the oxygen so he can go home.

My mother is staying with him in his room, since it is a private room. She is doing well and is back on her meds so she is feeling better. They're both hanging in there, but they really want to come home.

Please pray for strength for both of them and for my dad to heal and meet their requirements so he can be discharged.
