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)

Rescheduled
Please pray Mike will stay healthy these next couple of weeks. I found blood coming from one of Mike's tubes yesterday morning while we were in Mesquite. It alarmed me, but Mike wasn't concerned. Possibly all the jostling around from the road trip caused it. Today he is doing fine. I'm just so ready to have this problem fixed. Having it drag on for weeks is grueling and tiresome. And seeing an answer so close, yet so far away, is wearing on me. I guess I'm growing impatient. So I suppose that would be something you could pray for me about.
Mike and I truly appreciate your thoughts, prayers and support. You have not allowed us to be alone in any of this, and that has been a huge comfort, and has lightened the load. I honestly don't know where we would be without all of your love and support. Thank you!

I keep intending to call you guys, but then I decide the last thing you want to do is just rehash your saga with someone else.
But just know that I'm following along with all the new blog posts, emails, etc., and I'm praying for your entire family.
I know I've never seen any other family go through anything quite like this . . . and you've been such a wonderful witness to the Lord each step of the way.
Please don't hesitate to call the church if there's something we can do!
God bless,
Greg
