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)

Today is day 11 with this new foot/leg cast on after surgery Dec. 23rd.  Because it isn't a walking cast, I am on crutches most of the time...although I did get a wheelchair ride yesterday at Hobby Lobby!  It is frustrating, wanting to move around, and not being able to....unless a lot of strength and energy are involved.  I'm thinking I need to go on a diet very soon!

Glenn and I had his twin granddaughters over yesterday to celebrate their birthday's which were Dec. 31st.  We took them to Chick-fil-A and then to Hobby Lobby to find a craft to do with them.  We found a couple of suncatchers to paint with them.  They are 6 now.  It was quite a site being rolled around the store by Glenn, Haylee and Katie.  I tried to stack as many coats up in the basket in front of me, to hide behind.

I need to get out my citation pad and use it on myself this year.  I am usually one who takes down Christmas decorations no later than New Years, and jokingly say, while driving around town, that I'm going to leave a decoration citation on homes who still have theirs up.  But it still looks like Christmas at my house.  Oh well....I guess I will just enjoy the scenery of it all a little while longer!
