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)

4.18.2009

The day began slow today for Mike. He didn't get up until after 2 p.m. He explained to me later it was because he couldn't sleep last night...not because he felt bad. He's dropped about 6-8 pounds this week, but Mike feels it is because he has been sleeping, and missing three meals a day. He tells me he'll be able to put it back on quickly drinking Ensure shakes.

Mike and I would appreciate your prayers for our family this upcoming week. Mike will be having a series of tests and procedures in Houston and these trips always take a lot out of us. We are very grateful for your love and support, and hope to come home with a good report.

"Father, cover me with Your feathers, and help me to find refuge under Your wings. Let Your faithfulness be my shield and rampart. Help me not to fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. Help me to make You, the Most High, my dwelling and let no harm befall me nor disaster come near my tent. Thank You, Father, for commanding Your angels concerning me to guard me in all my ways." Psalm 91:9-11
