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)

A big praise!!! Mike's procedure went smoothly. They decided to do the left side today, instead of the right, since there was more fluid on that side. I believe Mike told me they drew off another liter. Monday afternoon, they want to do the right side. Following the procedure, Mike has had a couple of big coughs, that have been a little painful, but productive in getting phlegm up.

Mike's ankles and abdomen are still swollen, but he is feeling well enough at the moment to play his drums.

We are so blessed to have you praying for us. We would like to ask for you to also keep our son, Matt, in your prayers. He developed a kidney stone, and spent last evening in the emergency room. They have sent him home with pain, and anti-nausea medication, to pass it. We are so grateful for your love and support.

Beverly,

I just wanted you to know that I read your blog regularly and I'm praying for Mike and also for you. Your constant faith that you share on your blog is such an encouragement to me. I know the road is long and hard right now, but you have a heavenly Father who knows all that you're going through and holds you in the palm of his hand. God bless you. Missy Hines
