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)

I believe I may have caused a little confusion with my announcement last evening.  My son's wife, Jill, is having the baby girl the end of August.  My daughter, Amber, will not find out what she is having until June.  Her baby isn't due until the first week in November.  Still....we're ecstatic that a baby girl is going to join our family.  I'm sure it will be very spoiled!

Well, the hard top came off the Miata this evening and I'm aiming to take her out for a drive tomorrow.  I'm going to pack up my camera, the Beach Boys CD, and head in whatever direction the car wants to go.  Mike would be smiling...since that was why he got me the car, and was his favorite thing to do with me.  I just hope I find my way back home!  Maybe the fresh air will clear out my mind and put things into better perspective. 

I have so much to be grateful for!
