(beauty) cards in the street, with the words “just Because You’re Special” on them. Out of curiosity, I
(chat) with the boy and this remind me to make some cards to send together

(receive）over ten years and the rose made his life
(energy)during his stay in hospital . We plan to continue to do this and I will encourage more people to do this. Giving a flower to others might make their day special.
