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)

Grateful for a Good Day

For most of today, Mike's fever has been gone. I'm praying it will remain down and he will begin to feel better. He ate a little better today, getting in three good meals. Plus he asked me to make him a chocolate cake, which put a smile on my face.

Mike held off taking his pain medication until 4 p.m., because he thinks that is increasing the dizziness he's feeling, now that he's on the heart medication. We're going to try and go to church in the morning, if he wakes up without a fever, and if he's feeling a little better.

I'm just so grateful for a good day and pray we can have a few more. Thank you for praying for us so faithfully.

"He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul." Psalm 23:2,3
