I just spent the last 5 hours reading this blog {nieniedialogues.blogspot.com} I didn't know this remarkable woman's story until now. {we don't watch much TV} All I can say is I want to be like this women. She is inspirational. I want to be the best I can be. From her story she has shown me nothing is impossible. She has touched my life in a way, words can't describe. She has such strength, courage, and determination.
I want to become the wife, daughter, mother, and child of God my Savior wants me to be and I will.
I can't find the words to describe my feelings at this moment. After Conference this weekend, which was amazing, and this miraculous women's blog, I feel drained of my emotions. I will now look at life at a different light. It's funny how things hit you at a moment you don't expect it. I am so grateful when it does.
After reading nienie's blog, I look back on my teenage years. my sister Audrie found out she had a brain tumor, she was 10, and had to go through two surgeries. I didn't get it at that time in my life, I didn't go through the same heartache my siblings and parents went through. I didn't need to feel inspired, or change for that matter. I was a dumb teenager, and nothing else mattered but me. I was foolish. I wish I could do it over again and be the loving sister she needed me to be. But I can't, all I can do now is love her with all my heart and let her know that I do. Audrie is also inspiring. When the doctors told my parents those many years ago she would not live. She lived, she walked, laughed, she worked, and graduated school. And she is now on a mission. Even with her headaches, sharp pain in her chest, aching bones and even the possibility of her tumor growing back, she is out serving the Lord. She is an amazing woman. She will be returning home in 6 months and I can't wait to greet her with open arms. Oh how I miss that girl. I truly love her dearly.
Tonight I wept.
