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)

As you can imagine, life is a little busy around here.  Putting a wedding together in six weeks isn't impossible, but a lot of ground has needed to be covered in such a short period of time.  I'm lucky that I have someone (Glenn) who really gets excited about making wedding plans and is doing a lot of the leg work himself. Plus it has been a blessing that the weekend following Valentine's Day hasn't given us any roadblocks, with location, or time frame availability.  Most everything has gone as smoothly as silk.  Praise the Lord!

Thank you for your continued prayers, as we proceed forward.  Also, please keep my son and his family in your prayers.  Matt broke his foot Tuesday, and they all have all been sick in his family with viruses.  That's really tough to deal with when you have an infant and a toddler.  So your prayers would be a blessing here, as well.

We did received good news this week that Jill's mom, Judy, is cancer free again and will begin biological therapy in a few weeks to help prevent any further tumors from developing.  Such a blessing to know she is being covered in prayer.  She is such a sweet, loving friend, and it is a burden lifted, knowing she is doing better.  Thank you for all of your prayers.
