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)

Duck Tape Can Be a Hinderance or Possibly a Help

A month or more has flown by since I lasted posted here.  Glenn, my second husband, experienced a heart attack, and was hospitalized twice at two different locations.  Thankfully, he is doing so much better and regaining some of the energy he once had.

Around that same time I had food poisoning again (not Salmonella this time), and developed a bacterial infection, that with even four different antibiotics, still lingers.  The third treatment was painful, needing injections twice a day for a week.  Both sides of my hips are black and blue in addition to being very sore.  At least this fourth drug is oral again, and  I hope to find out soon if we're getting anywhere with this new drug.

Glenn and I have been busy planning, and teaching our four year old Sunday School class each week.  Our class is filled with mostly little boys which can make a very wild hour and half.  We try to stay at least three paces in front of them before they tie us up with duck tape.  But it might just come down to us duck taping them to the chairs to make any real progress.  What a joy to serve our Savior and our Rock.
