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)

Well, as you can imagine, this week has been very busy.  But we have many things checked off our "to do" list before the big event the 19th of February.  The cakes have been ordered, the photographer arranged, the reception location reserved with the menu selected, the invitations printed and in the mail, the honeymoon plans reserved, the clothing ordered and partially received, and we have completed our first meeting with the pastor.  Tomorrow we have another session with the pastor and will firm up the ceremony plans, the sound system details, furniture layout, etc.   

It helps that Glenn is really enjoying all of this and can run all over town and back, doing things while I'm at work.  So we may just pull this celebration off after all!

Your continued prayers for peace and understanding would be greatly appreciated.

Isaiah 61:3(amplified bible version)

“To grant consolation and joy to those who mourn in Zion..To give them an ornament of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit..That they may be called “oaks of righteousness”, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
