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)

Tomorrow Mike is signed up to take a class that goes for the entire day. I'm thinking he was VERY optimistic when he enrolled for that. But, whatever interests him and puts a smile on his face-puts a smile on mine. I hope he'll have the strength and energy tomorrow to enjoy it.
Mike's sores seem better today. His mouth sores on his lips look very bad, but he says they look worse than they actually feel. The other sores on his arms and face seem to be getting less noticeable. I think they actually were worsened when he got in the sun the other day. He is suppose to be avoiding the sun while he's on these drugs.
Thank you so much for praying for Mike to feel better. I think God is answering that prayer with Mike being up and moving around today.
"For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Isaiah 41:13
