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)

PRAISE!!!

Dad's case worker for his insurance has gained approval for speech therapy!!! She's getting it all set up for him. This couldn't come at a better time. He'll get his feeding tube on Tuesday to aid in getting him enough calories and then on top of that he'll get the speech therapy he needs in order to strengthen his swallowing muscles. Praise the Lord! Please continue to pray for my dad. He's having a rough week and we need him strong for the procedure this coming Tuesday. We're not sure what exactly is wrong, but he's not acting like himself, so please pray for the Lord to heal him and protect him from any viruses and other illnesses this weekend and coming week.
