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)

Mike bound out of bed this morning, feeling very well. He ate a good breakfast and then enjoyed watching tennis, while I ran to Kroger's for food and medications. Around 2:30 he went outside and sat with his sister and brother-n-law on the porch, which gave me some time to clean house.

Not a whole lot has changed in the past couple of days. Mike is experiencing some low blood pressure readings and some dizziness when he walks, but he's suspecting it is his allergies. I hope whatever it is, it clears up soon. He was talking today about wanting to go to the pistol range to shoot some...if he feels up to it.

We're having a little trouble with his bedsore patches not sliding around. I'm not sure I'm applying them correctly so I will need to have the home health nurse check them out when she returns Monday or Tuesday.

Thank you for continuing to check in on us. We appreciate your prayers deeply.
