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)

Mike has been more tired the past couple of days. We went to church this morning, and when we came home, he immediately went back to bed and slept for four more hours. I'm sure his body needs the rest; but I hate that he usually misses a meal. He really can't afford to lose any weight.

The fever Mike had the other evening quickly dissipated. I really feel it was mostly caused by Mike being wrapped up in a heated throw most of the evening while watching TV. He becomes so cold at times that he overheats himself under heavy clothing or blankets. I do have a small concern that an infection might be developing though, just by a few side effects I've seen.

Other than these couple of things, Mike is doing pretty well. Thank you very much for your thoughts and prayers.
