Climbing Back: Stephanie Nielson’s story

December 17, 2009 by Emily Hill Leave a Comment

If you feel like you’re somehow missing the point of the holiday season amidst the shopping and hustle and bustle of last-minute preparations, then take a moment (a lot of moments) to read the story of Stephanie Nielson, wife, mother, writer and airplane crash survivor. Journalist Jaimee Rose has beautifully captured her amazing story with its struggles, triumphs, heartaches and sweet victories for the Arizona Republic. I’m not through reading it yet and I’ve already grabbed a box of Kleenex. I might even need two:

CLIMBING BACK

The intro page also has links to audio slideshows, Stephanie’s family tree, info about Doug Kinneard (the pilot) and the staggering costs of her medical treatments.

This season try to take more time to count your blessings and less time counting the check marks on the Christmas wish lists. –Emily
