Tia and Michael met like any other couple...on an inpatient psychiatric unit. Tia was a devoted and kindhearted nurse; Michael was a psychiatrist. They made small talk from time to time, connecting over their shared Southern heritage. In that spirit, Michael asked Tia to watch an upcoming SEC college football game one day atop the hospital stairwell. Tia asked: "which game?" Michael replied: "whichever." From that moment, Tia knew that Michael didn't like football, but liked her. In 2024, Tia and Michael became engaged in Mallorca Spain, buttressed by nearly 3 years of shared laughter and dark humor, travel, professional milestones, home buying, and the blending of our human and feline families.
