Blogging Rocks

Seriously, NieNie's story has made the NY Times

Sociologists may talk about “weak ties” that bind people on the Internet. But Stephanie Nielson’s story is evolving into one about how the Web can forge powerful friendships. Unlike much of the blogosphere, which is ruled by sniping and snark and where commenters might coldly question the judgment of a mother of four who chose to get in a small private plane, these women inhabit a feel-good corner of the Internet.
And when one member of the community suffers, everyone feels it.

Kate got her square on the virtual EB quilt. Each Square represents an EB child, adult, or an angel in heaven.
