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)

Good Outcome

Thank you for praying for Mike and I today. It was a little rough waiting and wondering what might be going on with Mike's right side, wondering what the diagnostic doctors would decide to do to correct the problem, and if whatever they decided to do, would make Mike miss his afternoon radiation treatment.

Mike had his procedure a little later than scheduled. (around 1 p.m.) They suspected either the tubing was too close under the surface of the skin, or the radiation treatments might have been causing inflammation. They decided to go ahead and completely redo his right biliary tube, but they were able to keep Mike comfortable during the procedure, and hopefully we'll get the results they are looking for. He had to remain in recovery longer than we wanted, but they called ahead to radiation on the main campus, notifying them we would be getting to treatment 2 hours late. Mike and I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he came out of his treatment, realizing at that moment, we were going to be able to keep on our schedule to come home this weekend.

Again, thank you for praying us through today.

"Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!" Psalm 119:2
