On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three,  11   my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it  12   over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down,  13   to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life with lots of ______ challenges. We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.

   Yet   15   we discovered later were all the gifts  16   came out of difficulties. We came to learn that something  17  could happen in a disaster . All over the world people  18  Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a  19  center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of  20  had been received.

As a family, we opened letter after letter. They gave us  21   and became a source of strength for us. We used them to  22  ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a  23  , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or  24  in bed living happily and successfully. 

 These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so here we offer one of them to you.

Dear Chris,

    My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your riding ___25____ last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this difficult challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you busy.

Yours Sincerely,

Nancy Reagan
