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)

Tuesday Update

My parents have had a frustrating day. The heart CT that was scheduled for this morning did not occur as planned due to what they thought was a high heart rate, but later were told was low blood pressure. They are changing his medication dosage to try and get the test completed Thursday.

The results of his echocardiogram showed that his heart function is good. There may be minimal scar tissue there, but over all his test results were promising. Also his BNP was normal.

He has his appointment with the surgeon tomorrow morning at 9:30 to discuss rescheduling his surgery, but my mom saw this morning that he has already been scheduled for admission next Tuesday, the 9th. We're not certain if that's for surgery or not, but when we find out tomorrow we'll pass on the information so you can be praying for that specifically.

Thank you for your continued prayers.
