I did not particularly gravitate to her blog before the accident, but every since, I have loved it so much. She is suddenly very real to me, and her experience and the way in which she deals with it–so humanly–is inspiring to read.

I try to spread myself around. SKOW isn’t the ONLY movie, after all, just the best.

Jane,
I thought you were a ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’ quoter, not a ‘French Kiss’ quoter Thanks for the info about the cupcakes. I think I will be driving into Provo tomorrow!

I found out about Nie about two weeks after the accident and started reading. I ended up reading (and sobbing) for hours. I also sobbed over her sister, CJane’s, blog during the months after the accident as well.

Although I’ve heard about her story, I’ve never read her blog. I just read some great posts (although I should have taken your cry warning a little more seriously).

Wow, I started reading and now I can’t stop. Thanks for sharing. I may have to drive down next Saturday and get me some cupcakes, too. It’s really a sacrifice, but someone’s gotta do it.

I’ve wondered about that, and certainly many of NieNie’s posts before the accident were much more cheerful (pleasant) than many of mine, but I think you never know what sort of perspective such a life-changing event would bring. I would like to have the perspective without the pain, though.

I gotta say, I don’t read her very often because she ALWAYS makes me cry. Her blog makes my blog seem so vain, useless, selfish. I would like to think that I could navigate that sort of challenge with her same level of grace and gratitude, but the truth is I couldn’t – wouldn’t and there would be far more griping.
