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)

Thank You!

Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you very much for keeping Mike, myself and the children in your prayers. We will be heading out in the morning making our way to MD Anderson. We know many of you are worried that we're going to run into trouble along the way, but we are doing our best at calling the right people and getting clearances for our journey there. We plan to take all interstate, even though it is a little longer of a trip. But we're thinking that may be the smartest route this soon following the hurricane. We've called the metro police station in Houston and explained our situation and were told we'd have no problem. We're trusting God that if we do run into any trouble, He will help us find solutions.

We also want each of you to know we have been truly blessed by the ways you've reached out to us, helping to see us through all of this. Mike and I are speechless by your demonstrations of love and support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We will be sure to keep you up to date about our journey down, and especially once we arrive. We're praying with all of our heart that everything is safe to proceed with the surgery and there will be no major obstacles in our way.

Love,
Mike and Beverly
