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)

Saturday was a great day for Mike, celebrating Easter with family. I haven't seen him with that much energy and strength in so long. We had great fun watching the grandchildren hunt for eggs, and we played croquet and badminton. Mike grilled out b-b-q chicken and all the food was yummy! It was wonderful just being together as a family.

Today is Sunday, Easter day and Mike is just waking up. It is 4:30 p.m.! We're not sure what happened, but when he got up to go to church this morning, he felt sick to his stomach, so he laid back down. I went on ahead and went to church and expected him up when I got home, but he didn't even stir. I'm hoping I can get some food into him, now that he is awake, and hopefully he is feeling better.

Thank you for your continued prayers. I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter.

"I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead." Philippians 3:10-11
