Nie Nie

Some of you may be wondering about the pink button to the right on our blog--It's for the couple that you see in the photo above.

Stephanie--who writes the Nie Nie Dialogues--and her husband were seriously injured in a private plane crash in August. Although Stephanie is the most critically injured, with burns on 80% of her body, both will require long hospitalizations and multiple surgeries.

You can follow the links on the button or go to her sister's web page for more information.

When I first heard about what happened, I spent a log time on the Nie Nie dialogues--wandering around in Stephanie's world. Her blog is beautifully composed and such a sweet tale of a beautiful family. At just 27 years of age she is the proud mom of 4 little ones and a devoted wife. It breaks my heart to know that such a tragedy has occured in this wonderful family.

You can donate to the Nie Nie recovery fund by using pay-pal or by supporting some of the numerous fund-raising events held in the Arizona area that the Nielson family called home.

More than anything, keep them in your prayers.

We are all connected in this life--When I told Jeremy about them and began to read the blogs, I realized that he had gone to medical school with one of her cousins and that he was a year behind Jeremy in his residency!
