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 was doing well today...until he got sick to his stomach around 8 p.m.  We're not really sure what took place, because he was feeling well and had eaten a good dinner, but everything came up.  Following that, he was fine.  It wouldn't even be such a big deal if he wasn't so thin.  He just can't afford to do that.  I don't believe it is any virus since it came on suddenly, and left just as quickly.  There are no other symptoms.  So, I'm just going to trust he's fine and hope for even a better day tomorrow.

Thank you for checking in on Mike.  Knowing you visit here and care enough to pray for us, brings deep comfort.  We appreciate you so much!
