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)

Psalm 61:2-4 "From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah"

Good news! We received a call this afternoon from the oncology nurse letting us know the biopsy report was "fine". The threat of thyroid cancer has been removed. We thought we might receive a call from Mike's oncologist, to possibly give us more information, but he must have felt we had all the news we needed, and he was right. We are tremendously grateful for the good news.

The weekend was pretty difficult for our family waiting for the results of the biopsy. Because of the history of thyroid cancer with Mike's dad, fear threatened to suffocate the breath right out of us at times. But God is greater than our fears, and remains the Rock we cling to.

Thank you once again for holding ground with us and for interceding on our behalf. We feel we may never be able to thank you enough for helping us to stand through all of this. Your love, support and prayers are a constant encouragement to us.

Psalm 3:3 "But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me..."
