Therefore I was introduced to your blog about a month ago. I&#39;m a bit of a &quot;loyal&quot; blog reader.. I rarely find others to read once I&#39;ve fallen in love with certain blogs, but nie just said the nicest things about you in her archives that I spent all of two days catching up on. I&#39;ve come to respect your family beyond most families I actually come in contact with on a daily basis. I too have found a man of my dreams, but this post, my goodness, reduced me to tears. I wish I had known about you two sooner so I could have been a cheerleader for Nie and Christian and a cheerleader for you as a step-in mommy. I thank you for sharing your life and for being one of the most brilliant bloggers I &quot;know&quot;. You and Nie have helped me be the mother I want to be. Endless thanks.Kaciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535413068632092931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-70630295262738212122008-10-13T05:26:00.000-06:002008-10-13T05:26:00.000-06:00You wrote that so beautifully.

I too am LDS and have found so much solice and strength in reading about the righteous, special and amazing family you all are! My husband and I were married just a year and a half ago and just had our first baby on July 3rd. We are learning to adjust and live life to the fullest. To live for today, like Pres Monson just said this last conference. <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for posting these wonderful thoughts and insights and helping me to be a better mother, wife, daughter and friend. <BR/><BR/>I will continue to pray for your whole family. Heavenly Father knows each of us, and he has answered my prayers, through your words!<BR/><BR/>Thank you Thank you Thank you!Nikki Nicholshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15417246373960581196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-34478420461765169892008-09-29T10:50:00.000-06:002008-09-29T10:50:00.000-06:00Beautiful story, Best Wishes XThe Vintage Kittenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04888446870064459049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-4074246059764408552008-09-27T15:11:00.000-06:002008-09-27T15:11:00.000-06:00a lovely story, thanks for sharing and writing it so well.Lauri's Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17050943950915174819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-9425773043645176442008-09-27T06:52:00.000-06:002008-09-27T06:52:00.000-06:00You are a wonderful writer, but even more a wonderful sister.

I have it bookmarked now. I am praying for your sister and brother in law. I loved her post about Mr. Darcy. That's how I know my husband still loves me after 11 years. He watches Pride and Prejudice with me, and then tells me he really loved it. He even bought the soundtrack. (By the way, if you haven't seen it, I totally recommend the new Sense and Sensibility by Masterpiece Theatre!)<BR/>What a blessing that your family lives near each other and you can help each other out in your time of need. We'll keep praying!Alihttp://dealsandbargains.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-21308705826132731632008-09-23T22:42:00.000-06:002008-09-23T22:42:00.000-06:00Your story is so touching. I pray that Christian is able to wake your sister up, and I am glad he was finally able to visit his beautiful wife. I would love to see you someday compile your blog stories into an inspirational book for families facing tragedy such as your own.

I arrived here on a sliver of light that danced side ways through a crack in a portal of time between two dimensions. My name means 'Ascended'. It is of Hebrew origin. <BR/><BR/>I have come to share a message with you of hope, truth and possibilities. You are the most beautiful, iridescent being that I have had the privilege to commune with in quite some time. <BR/><BR/>I know that from where you are at this moment you feel the deep separation from all that you love and hold dear. In the blessedness of your position you have benefited from the gift of light. Others have come to you and you in turn have gone to others and this has truly blessed all involved.<BR/><BR/>Your spirit is one of resonance and grace, touching and being touched by angels of light. For this reason I have come to spend a brief respite in the glory of your presence. <BR/><BR/>Waking will be laborious. For this purpose I have come to 'lighten' the labor of that fortuitous event. Some will not see it this way but for now that is irrelevant. You are all that matters. The gifted space you occupy blesses everyone around you and in turn ultimately you.<BR/><BR/>Your mother, the stem from which you bloom, desires to commune with you as well. To this end she has stilled her mind and opened the space for you to come in. Within her embrace you are renewed. Within your embrace she is fortified.<BR/><BR/>He is calling to you. Yearning for your return. He possesses all that is required to usher you back across the threshold of there and here. With ease and tenderness he reaches out to you. Expectantly he awaits your response. Easy now. Go easy. Slip quietly through the embrace of the silence that holds you bound.<BR/><BR/>Outside others await. Count them, one, two, three, four. Oh so precious, oh so sweet. To them you go often and with them you linger, those little ones with great eyes and deep smiles. They hold such hope and promise. The possibilities are endless with these tender buds.<BR/><BR/>Give no thought to the shell. It will repair itself. You, in there full of light and love, there is where you begin. From there to here you will rise and soar.<BR/><BR/>From time to time you feel me, hear me fluttering near by. I am Aliyah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-20614564056806914062008-09-22T17:07:00.000-06:002008-09-22T17:07:00.000-06:00Courtney - this is a great post.
