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 (瘫痪) 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(挑战). 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,
Nancy Reagan
