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 enjoyed a visit from Drew this evening....and his mommy and daddy. ;)  It's so sweet to see the two of them interact, especially the gentleness Drew exercises when he's around Mike.  Drew was telling Mike about his costume for "pumpkin day".  He's going as a doctor.  Isn't that precious?!


Mike has felt fairly well today; maybe a little more tired.  He laid down for a good while this afternoon.  His abdomen is a little swollen this evening, making him feel a little uncomfortable.  But his cough is under better control and the spitting up has stopped.  I'm so grateful he's been able to keep all of his meals down these past few days.  He doesn't eat a whole lot, but does eat a good bite of everything.


Thank you for keeping him in your prayers.  Please continue to pray God's hedge of protection around Mike.  He is so frail, he would have a hard time fighting off very much.
