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)

Day 4

Well, I'm still hanging with the contacts!

 I'm learning how to put them in and take them out, without continously poking myself in the eye, or scratching them with my nails.  I've reduced the time from 40-45 minutes, to less than 15, which is a huge accomplishment for me.  So if I can manage to eventually see with them well, then I guess I'm getting beyond the hump. 

Only thing is, I'm not seeing distance well at all,  and it is interfering with my work, as well as with my driving.  When I'm in the sanctuary working on the music, it is necessary for me to see the viewing screens near the front, and I can't make anything out on them, without me needing to walk forward approximately six feet away.

  So, my goal is to continue to keep on their schedule, of wearing the contacts a certain amount of hours each day over the weekend, and maybe the doctor will realize I need a stronger lense for distance, on Monday.

I haven't given up yet!
