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)

Had a good day for a change.  I even came home and made homemade spaghetti, which I haven't done in months.  Of course, there's a lot left over, but it freezes well and I'm sure I'll get to enjoy it again.

I also was faithful and pulled out the exercise video's.  For some reason, my mind wanted to do it more than my body...but I flopped all over the place trying to learn the quick step...and I'm sure that alone, had to be considered exercise, trying not to trip and fall!  I would have had more success if they had just slowed the quick step down...like maybe by half as fast.  I'm glad no one was in the room, to judge whether what I did, looked anything like what they were doing.

Anyway....I celebrate having a tear-less day!  May tomorrow be just as peaceful.
