For Tina, Who Made Life Louder and Brighter
Tina loved.
And she loved hard.
If you were her person,
you knew it.
She didn’t do casual friendships.
She collected people,
held them close,
and loved them deeply
just for being exactly who they were.
Tina had joy in her bones.
She laughed at the smallest things,
the silliest moments,
the stuff no one else even noticed.
She didn’t need much to be happy,
just people,
just connection,
just someone to share the moment with.
And somehow,
we found each other.
We spoke our own language.
Full of inside jokes,
half-finished sentences,
and laughter that made no sense to anyone else.
Nobody really understood us,
but we didn’t care.
We were having too much fun.
We lived whole chapters of life together.
Late nights that felt like rendezvous,
not bad decisions,
just really great stories.
We worked together, laughed together,
and then went out and did life together,
meeting unforgettable people
and somehow surviving it all.
Tina was fiercely loyal.
To her friends.
To her family.
To the people she loved.
She carried other people’s worries
like they were her own,
because caring came naturally to her,
even when it was heavy.
She was honest,
but gentle.
The kind of honest that helped you grow
without ever making you feel small.
If I needed to laugh, she was already laughing.
If I needed to cry, she cried with me.
If I needed to figure something out,
she jumped right in and investigated life with me.
Whatever I felt,
she felt too.
She loved fireworks.
The excitement.
The colors.
The way they made you stop and look up.
That feels perfect for her,
because Tina was exactly that,
bright, unexpected,
and impossible to ignore.
Not long ago, we talked for hours.
Just laughing, remembering,
being us.
Four hours that felt like no time at all.
A gift I’ll hold onto forever.
If I could tell her anything now,
It would be what we always told each other.
No secrets.
No unsaid words.
Tina,
you are one of my dearest friends.
I have so much love in my heart for you.
And no matter where life took us,
we always knew,
if one of us needed the other,
we’d be there.
Still laughing.
Still loving.
Tiara.
Super T I can't explain the impact you made on my life. When I was really feeling down you brought me up. You made me feel important, pretty, useful! My heart broke hearing the news and you better believe i will be there sending you off and celebrating your greatness!!! I love you!!!
Nearly 30 years of friendship! We have been there for each other through the good and bad times. We could depend on each other to listen without judgement. That kind of friendship is so rare and I'm going to miss that space we made for each other. My goal is to continue to live a life filled with love, service to others and to stand up for others. That was always in Tina's heart. She was an anchor, a safe place for many.
