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)

Garage Sale Last Saturday

Our garage sale was a huge success!  There are only a few small things I need to pack up and donate somewhere.  Then I'll be ready to call the realtor to list my home.

The past couple of days Glenn and I have been helping my sister-n-law and her husband, Charlie.  We ended up at the emergency room three times in just two days due to extreme pain Charlie has been in.  Tonight he was admitted to the hospital, which is a huge relief...knowing they will manage his pain and keep it under control.  He has a bacterial infection in his jaw bone and the nerve is raw and causing sharp spasms when he swallows, talks, etc.  I would greatly appreciate your prayers for them....and prayer for me.  This is the first time I've returned to same hospital where Mike (my husband) passed away in 2009.  That's been a little rough.
