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)

Prayer Request

Our family would like to ask for your continued prayers for Judy Gray, our daughter-in-law, Jill's, mom.  It was discovered yesterday that she has cancer in her left kidney.  There are several tumors in it, so the kidney will need to be removed.  They believe it is all contained within that kidney, but tests results to confirm this, won't be available until next week.

Jill's baby, Alyssa, is breech and they are planning to turn her at the hospital on August 16th.  Some times this can cause labor to begin.  As you can see, timing may be a factor.  Selfishly, I would love for the baby to turn on her own, and not come until the end of August, to allow more time for Judy's surgery and recovery, and less stress on her, Jill and Jim.  Also...I'm concerned for my son Matt.  Just recently losing his father and Grandmother; dealing with another loved one fighting cancer is tremendously difficult. 

Please be in prayer with us.  Lord Jesus, please cover Judy, Jim, Jill and Matt, with your protection and peace.  And may Your glory and praise, be brought out of this situation, and only bring our family closer to You, and to each other.  In Jesus Name.
