i never knew tina since she was born but i will share what i do know:
on the 12 of july,1982(this was a monday by the way) the world welcomed a beautiful soul by the name of bettina marie stelp...tina was born winking -so she knew right away she was gona have a fun journey here-
her very first toy was a carebear-the green one with the clover-growing up tina was so attached to this bear even when i met tina she always had her bear around her-even sleepovers-which we had often-she would bring her bear(his name is mr.skwinky....i never knew the actual story behind mr.skwinky until tina passed away i just thought she really liked carebears...come to find out....brian(tina's father) bought tina this bear because her was winking just like tina was when she was born!!!what makes this extra special is that in the whole 23years of tina's short lived life we have yet to come across another mr.skwinky..
i have the original mr.skwinky in a very special spot and i would love to acquire another one if anyone has information regarding another one please contact me
