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)

A Red, White and Blue Weekend!

This has been a good weekend, and I'm not even at the end of it yet.  I love weekends like that! I have already had some fun time with both Drew and Ethan, and I'm looking forward to a family cookout tomorrow. 

A few months back I had given Drew a teeter totter but only his parents have been able to play with Drew with it.  They have had the joy of standing there on the opposite side, pushing Drew up and down until their arms wore out.

Tomorrow, Drew gets to try out the real deal with his cousin Ethan.  This is guaranteed to be fantastic entertainment!  Not only does the teeter totter go up and down, but it spins in circles too.  Can you just picture the scene?!!  I promise to take lots of pictures and video! Both little boys have enough of their grandpa in them, that I'm sure we'll have lots of excitement.
