Today, I posted a journal entry that I wrote on May 20th, 2005. That was 4 short days after receiving the news that Zoe had Trisomy 13. Today it seems like 4 short years and 4 days after receiving that news. Time is such an interesting thing to me. It is so relative....seeming like it has been forever since holding Zoe and seeming like it was just the other day.
The process of posting my entries from that time has been good. Sometimes the thought of looking into pain is scary but sometimes the reality of looking into the pain reminds you of just how strong you are.

About Me
- Christina Smith
- I am a Smith and I love it. I love my husband and I love my kids. Our journey has been just that...a journey...full of twists and turns and unexpected adventures. I have been married to my husband, David, since July 25th, 1998. We have two beautiful healthy boys, Jonah Joseph and Judah Daniel. Life is very fulfilling with them. We also have a daughter, Zoe Dawn, who was born in September 16th, 2005 and went to be with Jesus on September 19th, 2005. I often mourn Zoe and am saddened that I will not experience the joy of raising a daughter. A friend once spoke to me about how God's blessings are returned two-fold. That is what I have experienced through the loss of Zoe followed by the birth of two biological sons that I never imaginged I would have.
