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)

It was a good day for Mike! He felt pretty good when he woke up this morning, even though he was a little slow moving around at first. He felt well enough to go to church, and then afterwards, he had the strength to enjoy the afternoon reloading in his workshop. He sat most of the time out there working at his bench, but it was so nice seeing him feel more like himself. We appreciate your prayers so much.

"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord." Psalm 31:24
