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)

Prayer Request

Everyone probably already knows a hurricane is heading towards the Texas coast. We had every intention on flying back to Houston Sunday, to be there in plenty of time for Mike's 8:15 a.m. appointment, with the anesthesiologist, Monday morning, at MD Anderson. But there is a possibility flying in will be a problem. Driving may not be any better if Houston gets evacuated, because that could mean traffic jams for residents trying to drive back home and time delays.

For one reason or another, surgery for Mike has either been postponed or cancelled in the past few months. We really need a miracle for everything to work out for Mike and I to get back into Houston, and for MD Anderson to be open for surgery Tuesday. Time really isn't on our side... number one, because of Mike being off chemo for two months already. Number two, the tubes are such a risk for blockage or infection. I just don't know if Mike and I can handle another cancellation.

Please pray with us that things will work out to keep our plans, and for surgery to proceed. We're so close to seeing the prize and we want it so badly.

Thank you. Please enjoy the song below.
