On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 36  my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down,   38  to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of  39   with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑战). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.
40  what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   41 difficulties. We came to learn that something 42   could happen in a disaster .

By the end of the third week in a 44 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 45   had been received and sorted.
As   46 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us   47  and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 48   ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 49 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 50 in bed living happily and 51 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so   52  we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53  accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this   54  challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you   55 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan
