A Little History into 721 Love You
721 Love You: A Story of Love, Loss, and Hope
Trent Richardson's journey to founding 721 Love You began with a simple yet profound connection to the number 721. As a child, this number was ever-present in his life. It was the address of the family home, a place filled with love and memories, and it became a symbol of unity in his family. Trent's father, often away on overseas assignments, used 721 as a personal identifier for codes and passwords. Naturally, Trent adopted the number as his own, seeing it as a link to his idol and role model.
It was at that family home that Trent first met Tiffany, a moment that would change his life forever. Their wedding day was filled with laughter as they humorously recounted different versions of how they met. For Trent, it was undeniable—they were meant to be. The number 721 continued to surface in their lives, becoming a thread that symbolized their love story. On their first date, Tiffany selected a Tex-Mex restaurant and an arcade. Years later, they discovered the restaurant’s address: 721 Pacific Avenue.
Their first international trip, a Christmas getaway to Victoria, British Columbia, led them to the iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel. As they walked to dinner one evening, the address on the building caught their attention: 721 Government Street. These serendipitous moments deepened their belief in the significance of 721, now a shorthand for "Love You"—7 letters, 2 words, 1 meaning.
On July 21, 2016 (7/21), Trent proposed to Tiffany, surrounded by close friends and family. A year later, on July 21, 2017, they were married in a courthouse ceremony in Tacoma. Although plans for a destination wedding in Puerto Rico were disrupted by Hurricane Maria, they celebrated their union again on January 27, 2018 (1/27). These dates—7/21 and 1/27—became cornerstones of their love story.
721 Love You began as a dream that Tiffany and Trent shared — a brand built on love, purpose, and the hope of creating something that could reach people in meaningful ways.
Inspired by their journey and the love they shared with their family, 721 Love You became more than a name — it became a message. A reminder that even in our hardest moments, we are never truly alone.
The Struggle with Mental Health
Life took an unexpected turn for the Richardsons. In December 2021, they sold their business and moved closer to Tiffany’s job. Despite these changes, something felt amiss. Tiffany had long struggled with seasonal depression and anxiety, but in March 2022, her condition worsened dramatically. What began as mild delusional thoughts quickly escalated into a full manic episode. Stress and sleep deprivation only intensified her struggles.
Trent vividly remembers driving Tiffany to an appointment with her trusted therapist. Midway, she unbuckled her seatbelt and attempted to flee the car. It was a moment of realization for both of them. Tiffany was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, where she spent nearly a month before transitioning to outpatient care. Despite every effort—therapy, medications, and hospital stays—the pain she carried was overwhelming.
On October 27, 2022, Tiffany Richardson lost her batle with Mental Health. She was a beacon of light, a person who made everyone feel seen and valued. Her warmth, ability to remember faces, and heartfelt hugs left an indelible mark on those who knew her. Her loss left an immense void, but her legacy continues through Trent’s mission.
A Mission of Love and Awareness
721 Love You was born out of Trent Richardson’s desire to honor Tiffany’s memory and to spark meaningful change. It stands as a reminder to embrace love and prioritize mental health. Trent aims to normalize conversations around mental well-being, encourage seeking help, and dismantle the stigma surrounding mental illness.
Tiffany’s story is more than a tale of loss; it is a call to action. Through 721 Love You, Trent hopes to provide support, create a culture of compassion, and remind everyone that they are not alone.
721 Love You started as a tribute to Tiffany’s life, but it’s grown into something much more — a shared path for everyone navigating the quiet struggles of mental health.
Every story matters. Every voice deserves to be heard. Together, we walk in honor of those we’ve lost and those still with us, carrying love forward, one step at a time.
Because behind every silent battle is a story that deserves to be seen, heard, and held with love.
721 Forever
-
Because for too long, we’ve been taught to hide our pain.
Mental health struggles are often invisible — and in a world that celebrates strength, vulnerability can feel like weakness. Many people fear being misunderstood, judged, or dismissed. Others carry shame, believing they should be able to “get over it” or “be stronger.”
But healing begins when we speak honestly.At 721 Love You, we believe that talking about mental health isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s an act of courage. The more we normalize these conversations, the more space we create for love, understanding, and real support.
-
It’s not always obvious — that’s what makes it so hard.
People who are struggling often become skilled at hiding their pain. But there are signs we can learn to notice: changes in mood, withdrawal from loved ones, lack of interest in things they once enjoyed, sudden outbursts, sleep issues, or even just a shift in how they carry themselves. Sometimes, it’s not about what they say — it’s about what they stop saying.
The most powerful tool you have is presence. Pay attention. Ask how they’re really doing. And when you do, listen without trying to fix them. Just showing up — consistently and without judgment — can be a lifeline.
At 721 Love You, we believe recognizing someone’s pain starts with seeing them, hearing them, and reminding them they’re not alone.
-
Yes — and you don’t have to wait until things get worse.
If you’re struggling, the most important thing to know is this: you are not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help. While 721 Love You isn’t a crisis center or therapy provider, we are here to listen, to connect, and to walk alongside you. Whether that means pointing you toward trusted resources or simply reminding you that your story matters — we’re here.
