About a week or so ago, I posted about a new blog I'd found... Nie Nie's Dialogues. Through my tears & my inability to quit reading more posts from her blog, all I could think was that she would be the perfect story for an Oprah show. Imagine my surprise 2 days ago, when I saw her family's photo (one I'd seen on her blog) flashed on a commercial for an upcoming Oprah show. I couldn't believe it.
The show aired today, so I DVR'd it. Her story made me cry again. Bob had tears too.
Life can change in an instant. Make each moment count...
I kinda figured they were gonna be on....I read the hint about "Chicago" on her blog.....gotta see that one! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

You are so right about life changing in an instant.I'm bummed I missed the show, I'll have to look for it to be rerun.

I hate I missed it. I had found her blog through someone else's but had to return when you wrote about her. I would love to have heard her story live. Life really can change in the blink of an eye. I work hard at making every moment count but I'm guilty of not always being so good at it. Her story makes me want to be a better person...in every way.

Deanna this is so true!! I think I first found out about her blog from visiting yours and I wanted to watch her on Oprah so bad but it was on too late and I had to work the next day. And I have no PVR capability, drat. But I have bookmarked her blog and find it so inspirational and I think we all need reminders sometimes don't we? Thanks for posting about her here otherwise I would have never known.
