My Fellow Americans,

I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).

Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would   36   this a private matter or we would make this news known in a   37   way.

In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer   38   I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to   39   public awareness(意识). We were happy that   40   many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to   41   to normal, healthy lives.

So now, we feel it is   42   to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater   43   of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are   44   by it.

At the moment I feel just fine. I’d   45   to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have   46   done. I will continue to share   47    journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch   48   my friends and supporters.

Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease   49  , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this   50   experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will   51   it with faith and courage.

At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of   52    me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home,   53   that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.

I now begin this   54   that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright   55   ahead.

Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.
