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)

We are so thankful Mike hasn't caught the virus the kids and I have been battling the past week and a half. So far, he continues to stay well, and I am on the mend. I'm certain it's because of your prayers. Thank you so much! Zac, our son-in-law, is the last one to come down with the virus, but we're hoping he will be on the mend soon, and we can all be well for Christmas.

Mike's oncology appointment was cancelled today due to the bad weather we're having. The ice made it difficult for his doctor to come to town, so we will not see him again until after we come back from Houston in January. So far Mike's biliary tubes are functioning well. That's another praise!

I would appreciate your continued prayers for Mike beyond just the physical. There are so many facets to what he's dealing with. I pray the Lord would lift his heart and give him peace. Please also pray God will show me all I can do to help make things easier, or better for Mike. Your prayers and support continue to keep us strengthened.

"Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord: give me understanding according to thy word." Psalm 119:169
