“Bella is our eldest daughter and middle child. Her first name is Joanna, after her paternal great-grandmother and maternal aunt. She has beautiful eyes that can fill up with crocodile tears at a moments notice, but also become smily-face-like when she is filled with pure joy and excitement. Bella is the most empathetic person we know. She instinctively knows when someone is happy, sad, or nervous. She shares joy in an infectious way, and comforts those in pain with gentleness and sincerity. She will keeps you at arms length until she knows she can trust you, but once she decides that you are family, she will be fiercely loyal. We are happy to celebrate Bella today!”
