• Letter of the Day: A rose to brighten the day

  26-09-2017 18:00 via thestarphoenix.com
  On Tuesday, Sept. 5, I was sitting in Market Mall food court having a quick lunch. Suddenly, a little boy, about six or seven, walked by and placed a beautiful red rose on my table. He had the most beautiful sparkly eyes, and the most charming smile. He disappeared as quickly as he came.
  I turned and spotted his mother in the distance. I sincerely want to say a big thank you. What a kind, thoughtful and generous thing to do. You indeed made my day.
  Thanks again.
