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)

I wanted to thank everyone for your prayers. Mike is safely home and in bed. Little Rock exchanged both biliary drains, and enlarged the tube size on one of them. Mike became nauseated during the procedure because of the discomfort, and was partially sedated, which dropped his blood pressure down to 80. That required our staying for observation for 2 hours, so we just got home. Mike is very uncomfortable and a tad cranky. ;) My hope is that he'll sleep off the rest of this sedation and will begin to feel better later tonight, if not tomorrow.

Again, thank you for your prayers. I felt all of your thoughts with us.

"When I am at my weakest point, you are just beginning. When I know myself to be at the end of my strength, I know my Lord to be at the front of the battle. When I'm convinced I cannot go another step, You sweep me into your mighty arms and carry me the rest of the way. Lord, I abide in your marvelous grace. I lean daily on your never-failing love."
