foundation three boxes with text align links to the bottom of element

For some reason i had the request to align the links in three boxes with different height text, not sure why they wanted them aligned, but i guess my task is not too question that but to fix it. 

I think the best solution to fix this is to set a min height on the lower box sections and then set the links to absolute bottom and this should align the links along one line. 

Move these links to the bottom of the div, i think this makes it look too padded.

Measure the height of the largest box, and set min height on all of the boxes to that height, or a little bit more than that height. 

Set that box to relative, so elements can be aligned to that box. 

CSS

.section-box { 
position:relative;
min-height: 505px;
}

Then set the links to absolute and bottom left, which will align all the links to the bottom of the box which is now set to the height of the largest box, so they should all align to each other. 

This is also why i wrap my box links in divs, so then you dont have to worry about changing the display of the link elements to inline-block and can also make the elements easier to align. 

CSS

.section-box-link { 
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
left:0px;
}

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."

I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
