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)

hmmmmmm.........

I'm in cast number three now.  The second one only lasted four days before falling apart and Glenn needing to use duck tape to keep it together. 

The doctor and nurse looked at me like I'm purposely damaging it.  The doc even asked me if I had swam in it!  Thankfully, I was so struck by the silliness of her question, and slow to finding the right words to say, Glenn spoke up and put her in her place before I could say anything.

Her next idea was placing me in cast where I couldn't walk on it at all, and would need crutches, or do surgery to take the bones out.  Glenn and I insisted on trying a boot first, or I was walking out of there with nothing.  This has been so crazy the last three weeks!

The good thing is I can actually shower now, instead of taking a bath and trying to hang my foot out of the tub.  Believe me....at this age, that isn't easy!  And....the best outcome, is now I can swim.  Hope this shows her in two weeks we made the right decision.

Otherwise...the other thing going on the past few days is Chloe being sick.  What's worse than your pup feeling bad?  Not finding a vet to speak to over the weekend to help you make her better.  She has been at the clinic all morning receiving fluids while they run tests.  I was able to go back and visit with her a couple of hours after they had her, and she looked so pitiful.  I hated to leave her there.  But hopefully, I'll receive a call from them soon to go and pick her up and she'll be on the mend.

As the world keeps turning............
