Mommy’s Letter To Bella

My Bella,

You came into our lives small, loud, and already convinced the world belonged to you.

And somehow—you were right.

You taught us how love can be demanding and gentle at the same time. How presence matters more than perfection. How one tiny dog can become the center of an entire universe.

You were never “just a dog.”
You were our constant.
Our protector.
Our shadow.
Our sass.

You lived fully—every bark, every zoomie, every side-eye, every dramatic refusal to cooperate. You loved deeply, in your own fierce way.

Letting you go was the hardest thing we’ve ever done. But loving you was effortless.

Thank you for choosing us.
Thank you for staying as long as you did.
Thank you for leaving us changed.

Run free, my princess.
No leashes. No vets. No raincoats.

Only sunshine, open trails, and squirrels who finally get what’s coming.

Forever yours,
Mom 🤍
