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)

Tuesday's update

My dad had his CT scan this morning, but they haven't heard any results from it yet. His bloodwork came back and showed his bilirubin count is slightly elevated which is to be expected. I think overall his doctor was pleased with his bloodwork results, but I don't know what the details were. He has an appointment this afternoon. I think the plan is still to do the tube exchange on Thursday which will put them in a difficult position to catch their flight. Please pray for good results and a smooth exchange and for the flight schedule to be worked out. Dad is already feeling tired and appears dehydrated, so any further delays would be difficult.

Dad's doctor was able to move his appointment for the biliary exchange up to tomorrow at 1:30. This will help tremendously since he's been feeling a bit ill all day and will also correct any problems with their flight.
