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)

Exhausted!

Oh my......Trying to move all of my things into Glenn's house isn't going as easily as I was hoping.  We have been trying to do it alone...but both of us have been running out of strength, are pretty bruised, have aches and pains all over, and I personally, had a pity party yesterday, thinking everything just wasn't going to fit.  After a good boo hoo....I remembered I had forgotten to take some important medication for about five days.  No wonder!

Today....we contined to plug away.  We've decided we're going to hire some movers to help us with the remaining larger items.  Glenn is so sweet offering to help me take some things Mike made me over the years, and some of my flowers, which will help me feel I have a little bit of "God's Acre" still with me.

But I had a bright spot in my day today too.......  My little grandson, Drew, came to see me.  Evidently he has been wanting to do this awhile.  I was afraid what he would think of the house being almost empty...but he handled it so well.  I don't think he's fully grasped it all yet, but he is so cute trying.  He wanted to know if the "people" were going to buy a wall or a window.....and when I tried to describe the swimming pool we're putting in over at Glenn's house, somehow the details got lost in the translation.  He thought we were putting it inside the house I'm leaving, and he thought the rug was going to be under it. :-)  (Get to feeling better soon, Drew!  Nama loves you!)
