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)

We're Expecting a Little Girl!

The cat is finally out of the bag! 

We're having a little granddaughter due in August! 
She presently weighs 12 ounces and she is right on time!  She even waved to all of us who were watching the ultrasound...so not only is she very smart, but she must be very outgoing too, like her Papaw McSheehy! ;)  We're absolutely thrilled!

Joyful Heart also met this evening and we had a wonderful time, as usual.  Jill prepared common food cravings and we all talked about our pregnancies and even answered some trivia questions.  What the women over 35 learned, was that we are very old, and not as informed as the younger women in our group.  In fact, we had never heard of some of the terms used in the trivia questions.  So we're all a little smarter this evening.

I've included a few pictures for you. 



Jill, thank you for hosting such a fun evening!

The food was Yummo!
Remember ladies, it's open to anyone who would like to join us!
Just keep following this blog and you'll get updated.



This picture might need some explaining.  Jill is trying to find out what Amber will be having this fall.  She told us it came out accurate on her.  So, of course we believed her.....sorta. :)


Our Next Joyful Heart Gathering Is...

Going to be held on Friday, May 14 this time, so that we can participate together in the Cancer Relay at RHS.  We plan to meet at 5 p.m. and we will be walking in memory of several cancer members of our family, in honor of several, and even some of us will be taking a survivors walk.  We are opening this activity to our entire family and friends, and we hope everyone will come out and join us.  There will be booths with food and refreshments.  More information will follow.
