“You will never walk again．You will have to use a wheelchair．” I heard his
36 fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul．If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then．
The car accident has left me unconscious．When
37 , I found both legs in casts（石膏）．While I had other serious injuries, my
38 were my first concern．Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn’t imagine being
39 in a wheelchair．
Lying in my bed, I wondered how I
40 give my ten-year-old son hope that mom would
41 ．He’d been cheerful on every visit, but I saw
42 in his eyes． He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever．
Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach him what to do when misfortune
43 ．It didn’t take me long to become
44 with my limited movements and even with the pace the doctors were willing to go with me．I was determined to learn everything they showed me．
Every night in my private room, as soon as I knew I wouldn’t be
45 or discovered, I would move myself from the bed to the floor,
46 on to the bed rail（床栏杆） for dear life, and slowly putting my weight
47 my feet．After several weeks of such difficult
48 , my strength and confidence continued to
49 ．It came the time to share my accomplishments with the person most
50 to me．One night, when I heard my son greet the nurses at the station, I
51 myself up．As he opened the door, I took a few small steps．
52 , he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed．All of the pain, the fear, and the struggle
53 as I heard the words I had longed to hear, “Mommy, you can walk!”
I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick．I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends．My life has been blessed with many
54 of which I am proud．But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy
55 by those four little words of my son．
