Over the last several years my wife has followed the blog and life of Stephanie Nielson. At times I thought she was obsessed and needed to take a break from following her blog. However a few years ago now she and her husband were in an airplane crash in which both were securely burned. Stephanie is an amazing example of resilience and perseverance despite the lasting marks of the devastating plane crash that has left her more effected than her husband whom she calls Mr. Nielson.

Video on Stephanie.

This is a pretty amazing story of young man that has faced adversity from his birth and has found his voice to be able to share with others how to cope with the difficulty of his life. He talks about 3 important issues when dealing with adversity 1) perspective 2) vision 3) choices.

The main focus of this for me isn’t the religious meaning he found in his life but that found meaning and has pursued this relentlessly so that he could find happiness and joy. I also love the book Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

Here is a short clip to a video of the new baby.

I’ll try to post a few pictures as well.

I’ll send these photos to Flickr in a little while.

I love to hear Henry talk. He is learning to say some of the basic words around our house, such as apple, Oliver (from a library book), Oscar, Lily, Mama, Dada, and more. He even proudly shakes his head in one of the videos because he went number 2 on the toilet today.
