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 Father's Legacy


"Heaven Was Needing a Hero"
by Jo Dee Mesina

I Came By Today To See You
I Had To Let You Know
If I Knew The Last Time That
Held You Was The Last Time
I'd Have Held You And Never Let Go

It's Kept Me Awake Nights, Wondering
Lie In The Dark, Just Asking Why
I've Always Been Told
You Won't Be Called Home
Until It's Your Time

I Guess Heaven Was Needing A Hero
Somebody Just Like You
Brave Enough To
Stand Up for What You Believe
And Follow It Through

When I Try To Make It
Make Sense In My Mind
The Only Conclusion I Come To
Is Heaven Was Needing A Hero
Like You

I Remember The Last Time I Saw You
You Held Your Head Up Proud
I Laughed Inside
When I Saw How
You Were Standing Out In The Crowd

You're Such A Part Of Who I Am
Now That Part Will Just Be Void
No Matter How Much I Need You Now
Heaven Needed You More

Cause Heaven Was Needing A Hero
Somebody Just Like You
Brave Enough To
Stand Up for What You Believe
And Follow It Through

When I Try To Make
It Make Sense In My Mind
The Only Conclusion I Come To
Is Heaven Was Needing A Hero
Like You

Heaven Was Needing A Hero
And That's You
