Nalah Mari Friesen Smith
Nalah Smith danced through life without her feet touching the ground. Nalah spoke volumes without saying a word, and moved mountains without taking a step. Our dear Nalah taught us the depth of unconditional love and we ARE blessed that she choose us as her Family. Nalah lived valiantly with Full Trisomy 18 for two years, two months, twenty-two days. We miss Nalah every moment and life will never be the same. Nalah, you always were our Sunshine.

Thoughts
It has been fourteen years since you went to hospital ER, never to return. A horrible tragic death. Love and gratitude remain. I will forever be grateful for you, and angry at those who did not support your life. Who saw you as your disability, rather than the exceptional human you were. I send you love wherever you are. To the moon, stars, and back. My little, loving, precious, girl.

It has been seven years since Nalah's transition to the spirit world. In early years her absence was all I felt. That physical absence has transformed to a spiritual presence, which precious beyond words. Still, I miss holding my little one. Watching her grow. Having conversations face to face. Kissing her cheeks, holding her hand. Many tears flowing today but I know that presence is still with me. Nalah I appreciate all of you, the physical and the intangible. I love that you remain such an essential part of our family. You will always be our little girl, our sunshine, our munchkin, our sweetheart. I love you Nalah. Always will.

Dear sweet Nalah, I put up the pink Christmas tree today in our house that is the exact same tree you had in your hospital room on your first Christmas. Sharing time with you and your family in Edmonton was always incredibly special and it was especially meaningful to share your first Christmas with you. This time of year in December brings back memories of the depth of our shared sorrow, which came from a place of loving you so deeply. You enriched our lives in so many beautiful ways and inspired us with your strong spirit, bright eyes and sweet smile. We will carry you with us forever and will miss you always. Sending our love and hugs to you - Auntie Gayle, Uncle Doug, Jack and Kade
