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)

Happy Father's Day Matt and Zac!

Song For My Sons

This is a song for my sons
For when they understand it
You know how life is full
You know we couldn't plan it
Your dad and I prayed
For strength and understanding
For things we couldn't see or comprehend

This is a song from my heart
A small refrain to hold you
For times when we're apart
And I cannot console you
I can't say your life
Will always go like it should
But I can say that God is always good

And when the cold wind blows
like I know it will 
And when you feel alone
like I know you will
And when the cold wind blows
like I know it will

Don't let your love grow
Don't let your love grow
Don't let your love grow cold

This is a song for my sons
For when they understand it
You know how life is full
You know we couldn't plan it
Your dad and I pray
For your strength and understanding
For things you can not see or comprehend

This is a song for you
To carry in your pocket
Take all our love with you
In all the paths you walk in
Be honest with yourself
And don't forget to pray
And read your bible everyday

And when the cold wind blows
like I know it will
And when you feel alone
like I know you will
And when the cold wind blows
like I know it will

Don't let your love grow
Don't let your love grow
Don't let your love grow cold

Don't let your love grow
Don't let your love grow
Don't let your love grow cold

This is a song for my sons
For when they understand it
You know how life is full
You know we couldn't plan it
Your dad and I prayed
For strength and understanding
For things we couldn't see or comprehend
