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)

What a beautiful day in Arkansas!  I stayed inside for all of it, but the snow was absolutely breathtaking as it fell on the trees and the landscaping around our yard.  It was just one of those moments when you wanted to appreciate it with somebody else.  It was just too much to take in alone.  I took video and pictures just incase I'm not here next winter.

But now that it has come, I pray it goes as quickly as it came.  I have a doctor appointment two hours north of here in the morning, and could really use safe roads to travel on.  One thing is for sure; I won't be taking the Miata!  Mike would probably tell me it would track better than the Grand Prix, but I'd rather stay with something I'm a little more use to driving. 

I'm hoping for a compassionate doctor tomorrow and an answer for some of this extra anxiety I have been dealing with.  There are still so many decisions left to make.
