    Grew up with Tina‘s music in middle school where I was horribly bullied, but every day I went back home and listened to her music and other 80s music. She exhibited strength and dynamite in her voice, and I didn’t quite know it at that time, but listening to her did help me go through those days because I do remember as I look back now feeling hopeful. Gloria gave such a loving tribute.

    🥺Going through a dark pit currently, along with heartbreak grieving my recent loss of my beloved adopted mom, along with my biological dad. 😢💔😰 Feeling isolated and alone parentless in this heavy pit of grief and massive loss. I appreciate this little droplet of lite, encouragement, if not tiny dose of wisdom. At a time I’m feeling completely defeated, and hopeless along with not wanting to be here.💔🌏💔 Thank you kindly Gloria, for your openness in the midst of your own grieving, rest in paradise continuously to the incredible inspiring, & trailblazing Tina Turner as well. 🌸😥🕊️
