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)

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home
God bless America, My home sweet home.



Do You Want to Get Into the
Fourth of July Spirit?  
Check Out These Ideas



Patriotic Strawberries

1.  Take a bundle of fresh strawberries; wash and completely dry them.
2. Deep them 2/3rds the way in white, melted chocolate
3.  Dip the tips only is blue sugar, which can be found at most craft stores.








Here is another sweet idea to try.....




A plain, white T-shirt
Some red rick-rack, glued on with fabric glue
A pinned on..navy blue polka dot bow
And there you go!  A sweet patriotic shirt to wear!



How About a Patriotic Wreath?


Cut out SEVERAL red stars out of felt. 
Have handy some craft stick pins and a white styrofoam ring.


Continue to pin the red felt stars onto the wreath until you get the fullness you want.  Then take a wide navy blue ribbon and cut out three white felt stars to add to the navy blue ribbon.






Happy Fourth of July!!!
