Question

Last year, around Labor Day, I read a "Happy Ad" in our local newspaper. There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was c1. her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to k2. about it. It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her a3.. So I did. I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.

A week or so later, someone k4. at my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep. He introduced himself a5. the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for s6.such a nice card to his mom. Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite e7. to receive mine. I just didn't know w8. to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, e9. to this lovely old lady in the nursing home. I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a holiday card and also a couple of notes. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mail.

She passed away a couple of months ago. I never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my h10.. I dropped them a line of sympathy(同情). I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth.
