Treat yourself like your happiness serves more than just yourself. You never know whose watching. If people depend on you they depend on the best version of you…

Reoccurring nightmares have plagued me for almost 10 years since Clarissa was murdered. The focus of the dreams is trying to find a way to get away from Clarissa’s murderer. It’s like my psyche will never let go of the feeling like I could have removed Clarissa from harms way.

Her smile was so enchanting. Vibrant didn’t begin to describe this lovely little lady. 💜🦋

Sweet baby Rissa

Taken 10 years ago at the Wilton Shopping Center. My darling little heart… 🦋💜

13 years ago Clarissa was christened. Baptized or not I fully believe that all children have a place in heaven. Innocence will never be turn away from the love of God.

10 years since our last good bye. Forever in my heart and the hearts of so many. Always in my heart is where your spirit never dies, my love.

Circa October 27th, 2009. Clarissa was 5 months old. I painted her feet and made a birthday card for my mother. Finding this was the treasure of the day.

Love and support your kids… I’ve you’re lucky they will grow up to love and support you.

Thank God I’ve been blessed with a roof over my head! What a little love, full of charm x

12 years ago… a little monkey wore her favorite jammies and helped mommy bake a cake!

This little girl was enjoying the most beautiful of May days just two weeks before her 3rd birthday.

One of the most triggering questions unknowing people ask me is how many children I have. I am blessed with three wonderful little girls. One of which is my guardian angel… God Bless all Moms.

Happy 14th Birthday Clarissa. Even though I will always remember you as almost 4, everyday I dream about the young woman you might grow up to be.

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
