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)

Twenty six days....if anyone is counting!  Wedding plans are coming together nicely.  The hurdles at the present moment are very minor.  The guys may need to wear something different since the shirts we ordered for them cannot come in until March or April.  (Hmmm....that would be a little too late.)

Right now, there are wedding "things" all over the house...as an attempt to remember what goes with us...and where.  We are planning two receptions...a cake and punch reception after the service...and a dinner reception later on for family and a few close friends. (get those reply cards in)

We decided to hire a house sitter.  Between Glenn and I, we have four dogs who are all use to getting a lot of attention.  That's putting my mind at ease since Chloe and Hailey have seizures some times...all the dogs are over 10 years old....and 14 days is a long time not to be loved on.

If we've left anyone off the guest list accidentally, please know you are welcome to come.  The wedding is February 19th, 2:00 p.m. at FBCR.  It's going to be a little nontraditional, but anyone who knows me knows that I just have this creative little quirk in my personality, that some times likes to mix things up a little, and jump off a dock alone....just to test the waters.  I think the service will be a very worshipful experience.

That's about it for now.................
