 Can I give you a rose to make your day better? Yes, you can. In the past couple months, word has been traveling throughout Paintsville about a flower girl who hands out roses to people who need a pick-me-up. And it all started a little over a month ago when Laina Vance bought her first rose with her lunch money. And as soon as she bought it, she gave it away. And I felt sorry for them, so I just handed them the rose and it brightened up their day. So I'm like, okay, I can do this. Laina is a resident of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Training Center in Johnson County, but attends classes at Big Sandy Community and Technical College Mayo Campus. And even though she started out spending her lunch money on roses, it didn't take long before anonymous donors began helping her out. And he told us the next time she came in, you know, he paid for a dozen roses. She was so tickled and he anonymously donated 12 roses to you to give out. I was speechless. So to see exactly how Laina chooses who gets a rose, I tagged along as she made her rounds in the streets of Paintsville. Would you mind if I gave you a rose to make your day a little brighter? Oh, that would be so fantastic. Can I give you a hug too? Yes, you can, darling. You mind if I give you a rose even though you're a guy? Sure, hug time. Can I give you a rose? Yes. Thank you. You're welcome. Can I give you a hug? In the couple hours I spent with Laina, I lost count of all the smiles she brought to people's faces. And everyone who has gotten to know this flower girl agrees we should all strive to be more like her. If I can make somebody happy and smile, then in turn it makes me really happy and smile too. And if people could see things through her eyes, it would be a whole lot better place to live. We had no money. I was rich as I could be. And I could live many colors. My mama made me.
