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 Quiet Day


Here are a couple of pictures of the new view we have. I became quite interested this afternoon in the huge crane over the MD Anderson complex. Today, about five men were up at the top of that tower, dangling off of it, working on it. I was amazed how fearless they were.
We've had a quiet day. We only ventured out once, by taking the shuttle to a nearby Target Superstore, to pick up a few groceries. I pushed Mike around the store in a wheelchair, to keep him from wearing out too quickly, but he lost patience with me after I kept steering him accidently into the racks, so he ended up walking. I think I wore him out, because after we returned to our room, he slept for 3 hours.
We would appreciate your continued prayers regarding our problem with our medical insurance coverage, and with Mike's upcoming treatments beginning Monday morning. We know God holds all of these things in His hands, and we can rest in that, but at times, everything begins to weigh heavily on our minds. Thank you for continuing to lift us up.
"Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9
