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)

At one point during this mornings worship service, I noticed Mike was not only standing during the singing portion of our church service, but he was singing too. All of this taking place after an hour of Sunday School.

You have to understand how big of an improvement this is for Mike. In the past few weeks, since our trip to Houston, he hardly had the energy to attend one Sunday morning function, and he struggled to either sing, or stand....not do both. What a blessing!

Praise God, and thank you for all of your love, encouragement, support and prayers!

This is so amazing. I'm thankful to hear about all the little improvements because each one means so much.
