Smart, who as abducted for nine months in 2003, frequently speaks about the importance of family and how the love of her mother and father motivated her to survive. 

“I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my mom,” she told PEOPLE in 2008. “My mom is a hero and has influenced my life more than any other person, and I’d like to have that same influence on my children.”
