I read a blog called NieNie Dialogues, and you should too. NieNie is short for Stephanie Nielson, and no matter what woes you think you have in your life at any given time, it takes but a few moments spent in her presence, for everything to be slapped back into perspective.
Exactly one year ago, Stephanie was a young, beautiful, happy Mormon housewife, living with her husband Christian and their four young children (all under six) in Arizona. One afternoon she and her husband went for a little plane ride with his flight instructor, but the plane fell out of the sky. Thus begins this saga.
Think you had a bad day? Imagine finally coming home after months in a coma on the hospital burn unit, only to find that your youngest child now thinks of your sister as "Mama", and runs away crying whenever you approach him. All you want in the world is to be able to pick your kids up and hug them to you, but that is impossible because your arms have no strength and your fingers won't bend. To top it all off, you feel like a ghost in someone else's body, unable to recognize the face in the mirror. Now, that is a truly sucky day!
Despite all of her travails, this in not a blog about misery. It's about courage, faith, family, true beauty, and unconditional love. Why don't you stop by for a visit? You'll come away feeling uplifted, I gare-rone-tee!

Okay - I wasted half of my work day, sat at my desk crying, but have a better perspective on my little life problems. I hope you're happy. Love, Gus
