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)

Symptoms with Mike are staying under control. He is not running any fever and doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Tomorrow we go for more labwork to see if Mike's bilirubin count is any higher.
Yesterday, we picked up Drew and Mike spent a few hours playing with him. Our little grandsons can put a smile on Mike's face so quickly. Mike built Drew and Ethan a little step stool to stand on to help them reach a foosball table we have. Mike was beaming from ear to ear watching Drew play with that. I'm so grateful Mike is staying well enough to enjoy moments like these with his grandchildren.
God is SO good! Thank you for your prayers.
"But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting; to those who reverence Him; His salvation is to children's children of those who are faithful to His covenant and remember to obey Him!"
