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)

Dad's procedure early this morning had to do with a barium drink and pill....at least I believe that's what it's all about. It did show that stuff is getting stuck around his pharynx. They should have final results on Monday and will determine what to do at that point. In the past dad has had to have his esophagus dilated. He tried explaining that to me earlier and it involved something about these "rings" getting constricted due to acid reflux. It's all greek to me, so I'm not sure I'm explaining it right at all. I believe this to be fairly minor, but please keep him in your prayers so that he is able to continue to eat comfortably and put on some more weight.
