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)

My mom is still visiting with her sister and will come home on Sunday. She's enjoying seeing the sights, meeting new friends and being pampered. Today she met with a lawyer to help clear up some confusing legal matters. Hopefully this will aid her in making future decisions and also ease her mind that she's doing everything properly.

As I said, she'll be home late Sunday in time to celebrate Christmas with the family. I know her puppies will be thankful to have her home...I've not been handing out the "cookies"/treats the way she does. :) I know I for one will most certainly will be glad to have her home!
