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)

Pumpkin Party

Looking forward to a day of fun with our family for our annual Pumpkin party.  The boys are old enough now to join us in carving/decorating pumpkins, roasting hot dogs over a bonfire, eating chili, and playing a few games.  We were at MD Anderson at this time last year, so Mike and I are really looking forward to soaking up some family time today.  It will be scaled back to what Mike is able to do now, but I'm sure it will put a smile on both of our faces and lift our hearts. 

Please pray for protection over Mike.
