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)

Just wanted everyone to know what a "real" tar ball looks like, if you didn't already know.  That is what the picture is up above.


I was walking along the beach taking pictures and searching for that special seashell everyone looks for...when all of a sudden....right in front of me was an.....ummmmmmmm.....a HEART?....ooooh, creepy!  I'm NOT going to touch that!  What kind of animal did that come from?!


So then I thought....no wait.....could it possibly be a tar ball?  I was convinced I found the real thing.  The emergency response team was out on duty with their little rakes, so maybe I stumbled across something news worthy! ;-)  (okay.....humor me here...with my story telling!  I'm in a creative mood at almost 1 a.m. when I should be sleeping.)

But...actually, being the true treasure hunter I am, I've worked up a thirst, and now I need to find a Diet Coke.  So we leave the beach altogether to go down the road to buy a Diet Coke...but the mystery of my discovery was eating at me....so back to the beach I went.  Then I spot it again!  Yep!  There she be.....My tar ball!  My friend, who hadn't seen it the first time, is now taking in the site of this new find of mine, and disagrees that my find was press worthy. 

So....laughing hard, we take a picture of this new find...just to show it off to everyone back home.  Are you ready to see it?


That's when I spotted it....I never had seen the little white tab on the side the first time.  It was an apple, left out in the sun for hours!  My imagination had got the best of me! ;-)

So my friend felt the need to capture the look on my face.  Some people have no creativity!!!

 The End!
