Over the Rainbow

Aug 3, 2026 | Bella's Story, Music, Videos

Dr. Bella: Mom loved The Wizard of Oz. We were surprised when we got a color TV that when Dorothyโ€™s house landed in Ozโ€ฆIT WAS IN COLOR! We joyfuly watched once a year when it was broadcasted on TV.

I am warmed every time I hear IZโ€™s rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.๐ŸŒˆ

Mom sang the original version from The Wizard of Oz. All four daughters sang along with her. This was a happy time, free of my father's crueltyโ€”a byproduct of the PTSD from which he suffered.

It's been 20 years now since she departed to somewhere over the rainbow...
