Linda was a sixteen-year-old girl in Canada .She was feeling bad for several days. The doctors found out that she had cancer (癌症 ) .

    Linda's life changed. She began to go to hospital often for treatment （治疗）, and she also becamedepressed .

    The hospital and doctors were good, but Linda didn't have hope herself. Linda's mother called a flower shop close to the hospital “I want some beautiful flowers for my daughter .She is a teen girl with cancer.” She told the shop owner.

    Later, the flowers arrived. Then Linda saw something unusual. It was a card. It read: I own this flower shop. I had cancer when I was fifteen years old, I am 24 years old now .Good luck to you. My heart goes out to you.

Yours  

Alice
