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)

Whirlwind Trip

Just returned from the quickest trip I think I've ever made.  I flew out to surprise my mom for her 73rd birthday Saturday.  She lives in Florida.  The closest, reasonable flight plan for the Labor Day weekend was flying into Montgomery, Alabama.  My sister, Jaime, drove up from Panama City, Florida to pick me up, then we had a four hour drive south to get to the party.  Twelve hours later, we were back on a flight heading home.  She to Midland, Texas, and me Arkansas. Whew!  You don't do this as easily at 50+ years as you do in your 20's!
