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)

Just wanted to let everyone know, I just brought Mike home from the hospital. (3 p.m.) His arm is still swollen and it may take some time for that to improve. He is giving himself shots twice a day in the stomach, to help thin his blood, and he will be taking Coumadin once a day. We were told his body will need to dissolve the clot on its own. He will have his labs done Tuesday morning to check his INR, and will be seen by the internist Thursday.

Mike's appetite seems better and he told me on the way home that he feels better...with the exception of just feeling tired. We have plans to spend this evening at Matt and Jill's with the grandbabies and other family....which will be more medicine for Mike. ;)

Thank you for thinking about us and continuing to pray. We would especially ask that you pray this clot will quickly dissolve without any incident for Mike.

Happy Fourth of July!
