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)

Change of Pace

Please remember my parents in prayer tomorrow at around noon when they are at the oncology appointment. Please pray for some positive news!

My mom has asked me to step up and help with the blog for a while so she can take a bit of a break. I'll apologize upfront because my updates will most likely be less detailed and not nearly as well written as hers have been.

I did get to see my father briefly tonight and he seemed to be doing well. I interrupted their dinner, but I did get to make sure my dad was eating to my satisfaction. He was able to make it to physical therapy this morning and told me that he felt really good while he was there. I was pleased as well to see him up and moving around more than usual.

Please remember them in prayer as they go to dad's appointment this Wednesday with his oncologist. I know these appointments can cause some worry and stress for them, so please pray for peace for them and for a good visit overall.

I will try to update you as much as I can. Thank you so much for your prayers and support for our family.
