Just posting to say that I am here reading day in and day out, and I am praying here every night, for Stephanie and Christian, for their beautiful children and for all of you who are so very generous to share your lives with us. Your blog is one of the highlights of my day. I am so glad to have found it, so honored to be privy to all you care to share.Carrietracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16887799475043517773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-89461142990534954492008-10-22T14:39:00.000-06:002008-10-22T14:39:00.000-06:00Never fails to bring tears to my eyes...and always at work.

I have forwarded the poster and info. along to my Mesa and Gilbert relatives, some of whom know the Nielson clan. I know they'll spread the word.<BR/><BR/>Much love and prayers.

What a great thing to be a member of either of your families. You must be such wonderful people for so many (most complete strangers, such as me!) to take such an active interest in your lives and how things are going.

I have checked your blog and hers just about every day since. I am overwhelmed by the love and courage in your family. I am far away and have little to give, but one thing I can do each day is pray that you continue to feel the strength and courage and love that surrounds you and your family.Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04304884492599109389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-4809637595231086712008-10-22T09:45:00.000-06:002008-10-22T09:45:00.000-06:00Thank you Liz (and Lisa and all the other relatives and friends of Nie and Christian) for taking the time to post, to share your thoughts and observations, your day to day struggles and triumphs--and of course, your inspiration!<BR/>I consider myself a good person in that I am kind,responsible, I believe in God and grew up going to church, I don't drink or do drugs or knowingly do any harm to anyone. In fact, I went to college to study social work to HELP people better their lives! BUT... reading Nie and also Courtney's words is making me re-evaluate MY life and what I want from it. (I always thought i'd be married and have children I was too afraid to put myself out there and even look for "Mr. Right" due to trust issues caused from childhood abuse.) Nie's and Courtney's blog is making me wonder if perhaps the reason WHY I am not happy and fulfilled is because I am not fully in line with God's will. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I continue to pray for Nie and her beloved Mr. Nielson and their beautiful babies. And for you too Courtney and your Chup and the Chief. I will continue to keep your entire family in my prayers. Thank you...

God has put you on my heart to pray for you....you are carrying alot in your heart&amp; on your shoulders. Anyway, last night I was shopping at Whole Foods and in walks a young woman that looked exactly like you....same smile. I couldn&#39;t believe it.(I&#39;m sure I was freakishly staring) She was soooo you! but of course I realized no way you were in Ky. ha But it was a reminder to pray. All around me I&#39;m constantly reminded to pray for you guys.
