I work as a volunteer (志愿者) for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to   16  him.
Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and   17 . For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too   18  for a 17-year-old. Then, on day three, as we were   19  over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned (咧嘴笑),“Pretty hard.”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes   20  large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized (着迷). He couldn’t stop   21 . Later he said   22 , “I wish I could speak French.” I was   23  — this from a boy who hated and   24  French classes throughout school.
Usually silent, he   25  Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed (活泼起来).
26 , the moment that really took   27  breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains.

Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and   30  to become part of the leadership of the   31  .
Learning her story, Barrett was as   32  as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a   33  of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work .
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay   34  as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This   35  achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18^th birthday. He’ll be a man.

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 . All over the world people 43  Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. 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,
