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)

A Pretty Autumn Day




Today was a perfect day to sit outside and enjoy a good book. Mike is presently reading "Big Russ and Me" by the late Tim Russert.
Mike has the weekend off from taking any cancer treatments. He is looking forward to a visit with his friend Jeff, tomorrow. They plan to watch a little football together after lunch.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
"My loving God, You are truly gracious to me. You have not cast me aside or allowed me to be destroyed. You know that I honestly want to serve You. And You have demonstrated Your acceptance and concern for me by sustaining me and drawing me even closer to Yourself. May God be praised forever!" Psalm 41:11-13/Psalms Now
