There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire,
which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which
kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
-Washington Irving
Did you see Nie Nie's post today yet?
I love the way they're looking at each other.
It caused an immediate influx of thoughts on true love, eternal perspective, vanity, the makeup that I wear, my relationship with my husband, with my family, my priorities, my friends, what kind of mother I hope to be.
It made me cry because I my heart breaks for her (I can't even imagine)... but also because I'm happy for her because she knows the story, & sometimes - I think that makes all the difference.

Thank you for putting into words, my feelings.......
I was definitely touched. She is a true example to me in so many ways.
I feel the exact same way. Thanks for putting it into words... oh my heart is breaking.
very well put.
sigh. me, too.
she is so inspiring.
Very well said, Kathryn. I agree with it all.
Over the course of the past year, I have shed so many tears of sadness for Nie, Christian, and their family. Yesterday, upon seeing that picture, the tears were a little different. They were happier. Stephanie and Christian look so happy. I couldn't help but to smile through my tears. Through Nie's example, she is teaching us all such a valuable lesson.
