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)

A Long Journey


November 17, 2015

It has been over one and half years since I lasted posted.  So much has happened over this spand of   time.  There was teaching Sunday School, going to soccer games, buying two new puppies and so much more!



 
Shortly following this we took a very nice road trip with our trailer to South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and Arizona.  We had a great time and Bella was just precious.
 
 
 




We put our house up for sale and began to build OUR OWN house. Glenn never had built one and he had a dream of a house with a view.  And boy did we have one....looking over all of Russellville. We had a buyer for our old house and we moved, but she cancelled at closing leaving us high and dry.  So we waited until another buyer offered to buy it, and believe it or not, they cancelled at closing too. So we stopped everything and just moved back.  It was fairly clear to us this was not be meant to be.  So we moved back to our old home. We got the chance to live in it 2 months.  We still don't know why all of this turned out this way after much prayer and a year of it on the market.  It was even more uncomfortable because the first buyer we had was a prominent doctors mom in our community.  So it's taken a little bit of time to forgive and past the loss since our moving expenses were well over $10,000.00.





One of the reasons we became excited to relocate was to gain more light in our house.  So at the end of this month we are putting in a 4ft. x 4ft. skylight in the living room.  We're praying this will make  a huge difference.  It will be kind of messy for a few days but probably very worth it!

I am very lucky to have a sweet family and we have enjoyed so many fun activities at our present home.  There have been pool parties, Pumpkin parties, grandchildren night, and many more just around the corner.








And in the midst of all of this we added a new Yorkie male puppy to our family!
