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

Update:  My appointment went well.  I'm a little worn out from it, but everything went as well as it could. 

Opposite of what happened last Monday; this doctor wanted to know everything about me, and told me more about myself, than I was ready to hear.  And, as expected, I cried, but he didn't haul me off anywhere. :)  He just kept telling me how strong I was, to do what I did.  I wanted to argue that point with him...but didn't. ;)

He hinted that I may not qualify for the disability help I'm seeking though, and he explained why, which was opposite from what my rheumatologist told me last summer.  But he also told me some other things, which I can not write here, that may help with that for further consideration.

So all in all, it was a good visit, and I appreciate everyone's prayers, more than I can say.

The day has arrived.  My appointment today in Conway is at 4 p.m.  Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your love and support.
