Courage

one year ago, today, there was a plane crash outside of st. johns, az. the pilot died the next day and both husband and wife were severly burned - 80% for stephanie. i remember last august, being in cedar city, and checking the blogs daily for any new information regarding them.

then august 22nd came. it had happened to us. only no one survived our crash. those were long and draining days but i continued to check the blogs for updates on stephanie and christian's status. religiously. desperate for any good news.

good news did come.

it has been a long and hard road for the nielson family- change, change and more change. but it has created a timeline of strength, courage, determination, and faithfulness.

this family now resides in provo, ut and hiked the Y last night to mark a huge milestone in stephanie's recovery. i would have loved to be there. she and her family have been an inspiration to me- helping me in my own path of healing and faith through our own trials.

here's to NieNie and her sister CJane.

well said girls.
