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)
7.25.2009
The familiar, and a chance to just escape back into old times, was so precious. We have all been so homesick for our normal life. I know I wasn't the only one with tears welled up in my eyes as I was taking in the moment. I wish we could stay in that moment forever.
First thing Tuesday morning we will have the doctor appointment with the oncologist to receive the scan results. As you can imagine....each day closer sucks the breath out of us, as we fear hearing what the results are. I pray God will give Mike and I the strength to hear whatever we're told.
I also pray for many more days like today, with Mike and the children.
