It wasn't till the last day that I truly felt better and more able to enjoy her.

She is indeed a joy. I used to look forward to getting my children up from their naps, their beaming faces reflecting unconditional love and adoration. Thanks for the reminder that kids do want to feel a measure of control in their own lives--and that those beaming little faces are still in there somewhere--even on a bad day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21228919.post-82741111059291479602007-09-27T16:41:00.000-04:002007-09-27T16:41:00.000-04:00What a tribute to Bella.

Grandma always says that children are just little adults, they have preferences and desires and spirits as old as our own! I always try to treat my children respectfully as well, but they are not always as compliant and happy as Bella! She is such a happy girl. I miss her.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617050750444837628noreply@blogger.com
