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)

Many good developments today on the homefront. Two big worries that have been weighing on our hearts appear to be easier to handle than we previously thought. There are still some technicalities that are being taken care of, but overall we received very good news today.

One area we ask that you pray specifically for is a meeting mom has on Monday. She had gone to the SSA to get a minimal sum of money that can be given to the survivors of those who have passed away. In a surprising turn of events, a man that works there remembers my dad and all that had been going on with him and my mom and believes my mom may have a very good chance of receiving a benefit due to her situation and her health. So please keep this in your prayers as she goes to meet Monday to see if she qualifies for this early assistance. If she does it will be a HUGE help to her!!!

Thank you for your continued support and prayers for my family during this difficult time in our lives.
