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)

Last evening Zac and Amber needed to go somewhere and asked Mike and I to watch Ethan for a little while. We were having a sweet time, and at one point, I came around the corner and found Mike holding Ethan playfully upside down by his feet, all while Mike was still seated. I was shocked! Then nervous! Then I just grinned! ;) Mike hasn't had this kind of strength in months, and Ethan loved seeing the world from a different perspective. My heart just had a huge smiley face on it!

"What folly to think that all other blessings must come from Him, but that prayer, whereon everything else depends, must be obtained by personal effort! Thank God, I begin to comprehend the Lord Jesus is himself in the inner chamber watching over me, and holding himself responsible to teach me how to approach the Father. He only demands this...that I, with childlike confidence, wait upon Him and glorify Him." A. Murray
