That year,I did not send out any Christmas card,except to this 11 old lady in the nursing home. I just 12 her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a holiday 13 and also a couple of notes. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her and get some mail.
She 14 a couple of months ago. I never met this lady,but I did 15 her and her family in my thoughts. I dropped them a line of sympathy (同情) .I hoped that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on the earth.
