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)

Update as of 10:15 a.m.

UPDATE: Dad's surgery was unsuccessful, however he is in stable condition presently. Due to the amount of scar tissues the surgeon found, he felt it was best not to take out the tumor or remove the tubes and reconstruct his billiary duct system. His blood pressure dropped within one hour of surgery, but is stabilizing now. He will remain here for 5 days. When we understand more of the situation we will update you. Please keep us in your prayers.

Mike was taken back to surgery at 7 a.m. We will receive a report at 10 a.m.
