special message tor us at all tlmec whch when we are well and active- we often fail to understand but the shut- in or the patient in hospital knows their message because they have time to heed it and only those who have been lonely and suffering can realize the comfort arid hearts ease made possible by a few cut flowers or a flowering plant it is the i same with sj jpiariy ot the ordinary everyday
