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)

Ready for Houston

We are set and ready for Houston. Mike is doing better, now that he's off the medication that was causing the extreme dizziness he was experiencing. Outside of a little neuropathy in his feet and hands, and some soreness from his side with one of his drainage tubes, he's had a pretty good day.

He spent some time with the kids this morning as we took a family photo, wearing shirts displaying Mike's favorite football team....the Dallas Cowboys. Then he got as many grandbaby kisses he could store up for a couple of weeks. He also felt well enough to take a double-lap walk in the court. He's doing well and is eager to "get this show on the road."

We will keep you updated. Our first appointment is at 7:15 a.m. on Monday, and that will be the one to determine if surgery is a go.

Thank you for holding us in your hearts and praying.

"When I am at my weakest point, You are just beginning. When I know myself to be at the end of my strength, I know my Lord to be at the front of the battle. When I'm convinced I cannot go another step, You sweep me into Your mighty arms and carry me the rest of the way. Lord, I abide in Your marvelous grace. I lean on Your never-failing love." BJ Hoff

"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace." Hebrews 4:16
