up up & away

i wanted to do a little something for the nielson family, so when i read that they were inviting people to let of balloons with wishes -- i wanted in. i got three balloons: one for stephanie, one for christian, and one for the clark, nielson, & kinneard families... each one had my wishes tied onto it. the polaroid i plan to mail to the hospital to be placed along with many other lovelies people have sent in stephanie hospital room.

it was really moving to be able to participate. my thoughts never seem too far from this couple + what happened. my thoughts always seem to drift back to this, to what has happened... hearing everyone share memories and stories about stephanie, i feel like i know her. she is magical + charming + wonderful. i pray for her & christian everyday, all the time. nie is a lucky gal to have such a wonderful support net. her family is inspiring to me as well. they are so strong + faithful. you can feel just how much they love her + christian. i am so grateful for their example.

let us all remember nienie + mr. nielson in our prayers + hearts... they have a long road ahead of them.
