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)

Update

My parents' internet connection is down, so I've been asked to upate you briefly. Dad had a thoracentisis (sp?) done on both sides yesterday because both had filled back up with fluid. They took a liter from each side. He also had a treatment today and they ran some bloodwork that showed his ammonia level had increased by a few points, so they were altering his medicines to help lower that level. Please also keep my brother in your prayers. He's at the hospital today undergoing an outpatient procedure to place a stent that will help him pass his kidney stone.
