President’s Message: Cupid’s Arrows

February 9th, 2012 | No Comments | Posted in President's Messages

It’s the time of year when Cupid’s arrows start flying. I remember back in the days when I was in grammar school. Believe me that took a lot of remembering! The prettiest girl in the class sat on one side of the room and I on the other. On Valentine’s Day there I was with this bag of little sugar hearts with different sayings on each one. I was picking out the heart that I was going to give her. Very patiently, I perused each one. I came across the one I thought was perfect for her. It said, “I Love You.” I got up enough courage to walk over and give her the heart but the one I gave her said, “You have Cooties” on it. How did I do that?? The sentiment was still evident.

As childhood turns into adolescence the sugar hearts turn into a box of chocolate candy and then adulthood arrives with flowers and other gifts for those special people in our lives. Then there is the arrival of children and our love ends up being spread equally over our immediate family. It’s an experience that has no comparison.

Ed Hearn, his wife, Tricia and their son, Cody will share this experience with you in this month’s newsletter. The article updates their lives and the tribulations they are experiencing and combating as a family. This is a must read.

The love experienced on Valentines Day is not only confined to the immediate family but is given to extended family and friends as well. We at TSI would like to wish all our family and friends the most love and happiness you have ever had on this Valentines Day.
