2.Introduction to Letters to SamDear Reader,
Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book.When my (36)grandson,Sam,was born,my heart was filled with joy.I had been sitting in a wheelchair for 20years before then,and I have been (37)seriouslyill many times.So I wondered if I would have the(38)timeto tell Sam what I had(39)observed.
For years I have been hosting a program on the (40)radioand writing articles for a magazine.Being(41)unableto move freely,I have learned to sit still and keep my heart (42)open,exchanging thoughts with thousands of listeners and (43)readers.So when Sam was born,I (44)decidedto tell him about school and fridship,romance and work,love and everything else.That's how I started to write these(45)letters.I hope that Sam would (46)readthem sooner or later.
However,that expectation (47)changedwhen Sam showed signs of autism (自闭症) at the age of two.He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs.He (48)refusedto communicate with others,even the family members.That was (49)heartbreakingfor me but didn't stop me writing on.I realized that I had even (50)morenow to tell him.I wanted him to (51)explainwhat it means to be"different"from others,and learn how to fight against the misfortune he'll (52)faceas I myself,his grandfather,did.I just(53)guessedif I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.
Now,(54)asthe book has been published,I have been given the chance.Every chapter in the book is a letter to Sam:some about my life,and all about what it means to be a(55)man.
