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 (癱瘓) 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( 挑戰(zhàn)). 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,
