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)

Life lately has felt more like a huge, complicated Rubik's cube.  So many angles need to align to solve the issues laying in front of me.  It's a battle daily, to wait for the answers, and not worry.

But in the meantime, God must have thought I needed a distraction.  He now has blessed our family with two new grandbabies on the way, likely being born two months apart from each other.  As badly as Mike wanted more grandchildren, I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the first request he made in heaven.  Although, bittersweet for me, I can visualize the smile on Mike's face, and that pulls me forward.  I'm anxious to gaze into the faces of these little angels, and tell them one day about their Papa, and how deeply he wanted them.
