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 was probably inevitable, since Drew, Matt, Ethan, and Amber have all been, or are still sick. But I'm joining them, coming down with some kind of virus. So far, my symptoms haven't seemed as bad as the kids have been. I'm praying it will stay that way.

Please keep Mike in your prayers for protection, that he can either avoid getting sick, or not get it as badly as some in our family have. With tubes in Mike's abdomen, it would be very uncomfortable for him to begin coughing like the kids have.

Mike also has had kind of an off day anyway, unrelated to any viruses. He has been a little blue and a little tuckered out following his PT. They've increased his PT session to about 2 hours, from 1-1 1/2 hours. His feet (the neuropathy) have been troubling him and he's had trouble staying warm today.

Thank you for continuing to think about, or pray, for our family.
