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)

I spent some time with my daughter today looking at baby items in Little Rock.  We did some brainstorming, trying to figure out what direction she may go in decorating her nursery.  We found ourselves looking at little boy items, forgetting that this new little one, is a girl.   

I had some fun picking  up a few items for my granddaughter's.  This couldn't be any more fun!  Just saying that word blesses me over and over again, like kisses on my cheek from Mike.  

I believe God is grabbing my hand and trying to pull me forward.  Trying to show me how to live again.  I do it with trepidation; fearful I will be hurt again.  There is still such a deep desire to want to be with Mike, but these grandbabies are reminders that God and Mike, want me to go on for them.

Happy Father's Day, Sweetheart.  Seven months doesn't seem possible.  May God bless you with a glimpse of beauty, that lives on because of your deep love and devotion to your children, to your grandbabies, and most especially to me, for cherishing everyday with me so completely. 

"Loved you yesterday, Love you still, always have, always will!"
