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.

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.

It is that time of year again. The time when suddenly we had to say goodbye to the physical presence of you. You are so much more, and have left such a legacy of love. We appreciate you Nalah. We appreciate and adore you. Please remember your family will always create a circle of belonging and love. We miss you, especially these December days. You are remembered with much love.

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

Dearest Nalah, I love and miss you with each breath. I will always treasure the time we shared. I hope you are having excellent adventures in the spirit world. I am holding you especially close today. Your death does not define you. I am so glad we were able to know you, to interact with you, to hold you, to care for you. Your family loves you.

Thinking about you always and forever. At school in the choir I am in we are singing the song Winter With You and I find myself thinking about it at the moment. "I will not mind at all the cold outside if I could share this winter with you" :)
