“When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and you are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.”~ Patrick Overton
...here is a video montage I put together chronicling the past few months of Zoey's journey. Enjoy, but don't forget to turn off the music at the bottom of the page.
OMG i have never left a comment befor even though i have wanted to.....but this i couldnt go without thanking Caitlin for the most magnificent montage of her sister...i think it must run in the family ( look what your dad does ) anyway just thankyou for sharing the most special pictures of Zoey i only wish there was a picture of Heather and Zoey maybe next time.she truely is a gift to everyone!!!!!
After drying my eyes I felt I had to write. Although I have followed Zoey's path since this past summer when at Otisco Lake and heard all the Princess I had never left a comment. Our church has put Ms. Zoey on the prayer list and folks often ask for updates on her. All are amazed by her and the family. I am humbled by the strength, faith and love shared by all of you. What an amazing little girl. Thank you for sharing her with us. Happy Birthday Princess Zoey. hugs, Dawn, Jim and Paul McRae:)
as usual i loved it! what's not to love?!?!? i love the kisses with her sister! open mouth baby kisses are so bittersweet!!! lol. i found myself smiling without even really knowing i was smiling. she really is a gift....happy 2 year birthday lil princess! in 2 years, you've touched more people than i have in 28!!!! u go girl

Happy Happy Birthday Little Zoey!

Caitlin, that was so precious...so beautiful! You are so right, you cannot look at Zoey without breaking into a smile! She just makes your heart swell. And how fun that Reid and Zoey's "first date" made it in the montage :). I think he will come a courting again this round...but loverboy needs a new haircut first! :)
Zoey Grace, from the bottom of our hearts we wish you a Happy 2nd Birthday. You could not be more adorable, more sweet, or more loved!
Every time I see a picture of Zoey's sweet smile, my heart smiles brightly. Zoey is an amazing little girl. Thank you for teaching me so much about strength sweetheart. Happy Happy, Happy Birthday To You Miss Zoey!!! Gwendolyn sends you hugs, cupcakes, and germ-free kisses!
That was the most precious birthday gift given (to the rest of us). What a beautiful job!! HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY Princess Zoey Bo, Robyn & Kim from Otisco
Happy 2nd birthday Princess!! We will be thinking about you all day!! Hugs and kisses. Hope you can feel our arms around you -- and you too Heather and Mark. Love you guys. P.S. Great job Caitlin!!
Happy Birthday,Zoey!!What a beautiful video. I have a cute story. The other day we had Sprouts TV on, and they were doing the birthday segment. They told anyone who has a March birthday to send in their pictures. I heard Bella,my 7 year old say"we have a March Birthday" I thought oh no who did I forget! Who's in March, I asked? Zoey is mommy, was the answer. So we are celebrating Zoey today in RI. Can you hear us singing? Kisses and prayers to you all. Stephanie and family
Love the video...thank you. For those of us that live far away and haven't been able to meet her yet, but love her so much, that video is truly a gift. Happy Birthday sweet girl....fight on, smile on and know you are loved by so many!
Happy Birthday Princess Zoey, The nurses who were at your birthday two years ago and took care of you the first few hours of life send their greetings to you today. We hope and pray for a great day and many, many more happy birthdays to come. With lots of love from Bobbie who was at your birth and Patricia, your first of many nurses to care for you! Do you still have the candle I gave your for your first birthday? Love, Patricia Los Robles NICU
I don't even have words to say how much I became enveloped in the montage. Absolutely beautiful! Beautiful child, beautiful story, beautiful music, beautiful thoughts. thank you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET ZOEY! What a wonderful tribute to you! I have been trying to work on my own version for you all day and last night, but photobucket/scrapblog has decided to have technical difficulties on your big day! I am soooooo sorry. Mine pales in comparison to the slide show your sister made for you, you are one loved little princess! We love you so much and hope your party last night was fun!!!!
Not a dry eye here. My without words the montage is exquisite. Hey Zoey, how does it feel to be TWO? Love you. I believe all the qualities mentioned in the slide show not only embody Zoey, but also her entire, tireless, loving, and devoted family. Thank you all for the many gifts you share. Thinking of you, xo Christi Harmnan
Happiest of Birthdays Princess Zoey! You are a truly mighty warrior and I am so impressed by the video your sister did for you. Every day I take a break and read your blog and think - wow, what a fighter! Thinking happy thoughts for your treatment. Love, Christy, Carla, Erik and Jake Pinuelas
