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)

Heart Catherization Tomorrow

Mike has a 10 a.m. heart catherization scheduled for tomorrow at the same hospital he had it done before. Our understanding is they only plan to go in and look, but he's been told to pack an overnight bag just incase.

Today, Mike got a free trim and shave at MD Anderson. He didn't have a whole lot needing to be done, but it made him feel a pinch better to be tidied up. This is such a wonderful gift the hospital offers to cancer patients. They even offer free wigs to women undergoing treatments. It has been frustrating down here at times, but there are many things MD Anderson is doing right.

Mike's biliary tube exchange yesterday seems to be working better than his previous ones. We know it is still early, but if he needs to have this done every 3 months, going through the procedure without too much pain, and fewer problems, is a step in the right direction.

Thank you for keeping Mike and I in your thoughts and prayers.

"Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord." Psalm31:24
