Unless you've been hiding under a rock in the blogging world, you've probably heard about Stephanie & Christian Nielson, who are recovering from severe burns sustained in an August plane crash.Before the accident, I had read Stephanie (nie nie dialogues) & her sister Courtney's (c jane enjoy it) blogs every once in a while, but not really on a regular basis. I still haven't been reading them regularly, but today I was catching up on a few of Courtney's latest posts. She posted links to recent newspaper articles, TV news spots & other events such as fund raisers for the Nielson's life altering medical bills.
Anyway, if you want more history/info/how to help, check out Stephanie's blog (favorite posts are being re-posted, or you can read from the archives) or Courntey's blog where she has been posting updates on Stephanie & Christian.
The point of my post is to share this article...it's from the Arizona Republic 10/16/08

Among the many thoughts & emotions I had while reading this article, one of them was how grateful I am for my sister & how much I love her. I love my brothers & parents too, but there is something special/different about the bond & love sisters share.
I love you Ang!
My thoughts & prayers are with the Nielson's and their families as they continue to face the roller coaster of recovery head on, with great faith & love & gratitude for miracles no matter how small. (click for an article from 10/27/09 regarding Christian's recovery)
I've been reading both of those too :) And funny enough, it took me until last week to realize Christian is my friend Steve's brother. Small world. And yes my dear sister, I love you too :) I'd totally blog about you to the world like Jane if you got injured...(knock on wood).
