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)

It has been a wonderful Christmas! Mike has felt very good most of the time the past few days. He has napped when he could, and has been enjoying the children, grandchildren, and other family here to celebrate the holidays. We feel so blessed and are very grateful!
I wish you could have been sitting in the room with me when Mike tried out his new foot bath. He had asked for this, thinking it would help ease the discomfort in his feet from his neuropathy. It became absolutely hysterical when he first tried using it though, because he had the water temp too hot. The repeated efforts to stick his toes in the water cracked me up. Then Chloe, our Cocker Spaniel, became the show when she became curious of the new object. At one point she must have thought it was some high tech water dish...because she would try and sneek forward to get a drink, and then would jump back. After several attemps, Mike decided to get real cute and turned on the jets. I guess it doesn't take too much for Mike and I to be entertained! ;)
