The beginning
The daughter I had been waiting for.
Remembering our Bella

Her life must be remembered.
Before the questions, before the headlines, before everything that came afterward, there was Bella.

“All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”
Why I created this website
A whole world
in one little girl.
“She called me Babe.
I called her my Bella.”
I created this website to share the little girl I knew and loved—her laughter, her imagination, her determination, and the ordinary moments that meant everything to us.
My hope is that you will take the time to know Bella: a child with her own personality, wishes, and plans.
I also created this website because I have felt pressured to remain silent through threats, accusations, and intimidation. I cannot know every person’s intentions, but I know how those experiences affected me. I will not let fear take away my voice or my place in Bella’s story. I have the right to remember my daughter, speak about what I experienced, and place my account beside the records so people can examine both for themselves.
“My silence would not make the accusations true. My voice does not make my grief less real.”Read her story

The ordinary moments
were everything.

Drawings, stories, and ideas that were entirely her own.
So much ahead of her
Wishes, adventures, and another year of growing.
A life in moments

of You.
A life in photographs. A lifetime of love. A song for the little girl who called me Babe.
