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)

Charlie

It's been a week of trips to Little Rock.  Mike's sister's husband, Charlie, has been in incredible pain, and Lynne doesn't like to drive in big cities, so we have been taking her. 

After charlie recovered from his tonsil cancer, his jaw bone needed surgery because the radiation treatments he had received a few years ago, caused part of his jaw needing to be removed.  Then he developed a horrible infection in the bone, which had been being treated at home by transfusion, to prevent it from getting into his bone marrow, but a terrible jaw pain developed.  He was incredibly miserable! I have never seen Charlie in so much pain. 

So he has been admitted to a hospital in LR and surgery is scheduled for Friday...to either cut/kill the nerve, or remove the infection further from the jaw bone.

We could use all the prayers we can get right now.  It's hard to see someone you love, hurt.
