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)

Updates:

The MRI went well yesterday.  I should have results next week to rule this concern out.

Glenn's ultrasound went well Wednesday.  There is no kidney stone or other issues concerning his kidney to be worried about.  He does have the herniated disk though and we will learn more about that July 7th.

I accepted the offer on my home today.  The buyers came up on their offer quite a bit and the realtors split taking 1% off their commission.  I'm relieved on one hand, but very sad on another.  I wanted to keep myself in the place where I shared so much happiness with Mike and our family.  But I know God is moving me on, and I'm trying not to go kicking all the way. 

I feel a bit lost at this time.  I haven't made the complete adjustment to feeling like home is with Glenn...but the house back home has been empty for so long now; it really didn't feel like home there completely either.  I suppose I've just been living in a state of limbo for now, trying to deal with all the estate issues.  They have been chasing me all this time still....with me trying to get keep things in my name, and not changed back into Mike's. 

The home closes at the end of July.  Prayfully, everything will finish out smoothly and I can try to pick up my life and go forward.
