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)

Mike had his ultrasound on his thyroid this afternoon but we were told we likely won't get any results until Wednesday. The oncologist is in town on Tuesday's and Thursday's, so we may learn something then. I'm praying for a good report.

Mike is feeling pretty good. He hasn't had to lay down in the middle of the day which shows me his energy level is up and he's a little stronger. He has spent a little more time alone these past couple of weeks while I have been helping our son and daughter-in-law paint their new home. The kids are hoping to move out of our place, and into their new home, by Valentine's Day weekend. Mike's already dreading not being able to see Drew everyday. He has been Mike's "shot in the arm" the past 1 1/2 years. I promised him we would snatch Drew as often as we can.

Thank you for checking in on us and keeping us in your prayers. It's such a comfort to us so many of you care.

"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength." Isaiah 40:29
