On May 27，1995，our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three,        my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it        over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪）from the chest down,        to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of        with lots of unexpected challenges (挑战） We went from the “haves” to the “have-nots”. Or so we thought.
        what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of        difficulties. We came to learn that something        could happen in a disaster. All over the world people        Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a        center in Virginia, about 35，000pieces of        had been received and sorted.
As      ，we opened letter after letter. They gave us        and became a source of strength for us. We used them to        ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a        , or to the “Disabled” box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or        in bed living happily and      .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so        we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your        accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this        challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you        .
Yours sincerely，
Nancy Reagan
