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)

Procedure finished

UPDATE: There will be no surgery tomorrow. It is tentatively scheduled for September 16th with the approval of the cardiologist at MD Anderson. My parents are contemplating returning home before the surgery date due to the hurricane heading towards the Houston area.

My dad's procedure is finished. It was painful for him because they couldn't sedate him much because his blood pressure was low, and they didn't clear the blockage. Mom's understanding was that they were only checking to see if he was ok for surgery and the blockage will be treated with medication. The heart hospital has cleared him for surgery, but we are waiting to see if it will be tomorrow or the week after.

I'll keep you updated. Thank you for your prayers for my family.
