Stephanie Nielson, the daughter of dear family friends, Steve and Cindy Clark, has endured so much over the last year after surviving a fatal plane crash.
Today, she made an appearance on Oprah.
What an amazing woman, so much like her mother. So faithful, so strong, so beautiful. Although her life has taken a devastating turn, she has taken it on with grace and dignity. Never forgetting that she is a daughter of God. Never letting go of her faith, and sharing her testimony constantly.
Mothers around the world have been touched by her strength and her deep desire to love and nurture her family, for her commitment to the sacred calling of motherhood. I have been touched too.
"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. The choice is different and unique for each mother and each family. Many are able to be 'full-time moms,' at least during the most formative years of their children's lives, and many others would like to be. Some may have to work part- or full-time; some may work at home; some may divide their lives into periods of home and family and work. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
M. Russell Ballard
