Could someone correct this story for me? Thanks The story is about an 18 year-old guy that was broke. To earn money he sold books door-to-door. While selling books, one day he met a tall woman in her 80s called Mrs Link, she needed some help with the yard/garden and house. So the young boy started working there. He learnt to do many tasks, for example how to plant bulbs, what flowers and weeds to pull up or how to vacuum her Persian rug. Mrs. Link was never able to have children but her family lived nearby and the neighbours were fond of her. After a year and a half, the boy started seeing Mrs. Link less and less because the job and church were taking more of his time. So he finally found another girl to help Mrs Link. On Valentine’s Day, the guy was compiling a list of his valentines, but in that list wasn’t Mrs Link. His mom said “You need to get Mrs Link a valentine.” He disagreed but the mom insisted. Finally he self-consciously presented her a small bouquet which she accepted graciously. Some months later, the guy visited again the elderly woman and in her living room stood his bouquet that was the only valentine she received that year.
