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 1        her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to 2        it. It said that if you wanted to write to her,here was her 3       . So I did. I found a birthday card and wrote a short note,wishing her a happy birthday.

  A week or so later,someone 4      my front door. I opened the door and found a middleaged man 5        on the doorstep. He introduced himself as the son of that woman to 6        I had sent the card. He explained he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending 7        nice card to his mom.

Apparently,like many older folks,she did not receive much mail and was quite 8      to receive mine. I just didn't know 9        to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I 10        his mom had enjoyed her birthday.

  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.
