36my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 38to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of
39with lots of unexpected challenges(挑战). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.
40what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of 41difficulties. We came to learn that something 42could 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
44center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of45had been received and sorted.
As 46, we opened letter after letter. They gave us 47and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 48ourselves. 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 50in bed living happily and 51.
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so 52we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53accident 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
