In life, we are restrained to the limitations of the physical body, often remarking that we can't be two places at once; can't do all we wish we could do. In the afterlife, those restrictions are gone and we are free to dole out our love, caring, and support to many that we leave behind, simultaneously. Take comfort in the fact Tina is forever guiding and loving you all from this unique position. She's unseen, but ever present; your Angel.
