After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An   41    had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great   42   to him, so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not   43   it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me   44   I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about   45   obstacles and struggling to achieve my dreams.      I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he   46   or ask, “Why   47  ?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and achieving his dreams.  48  , he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had   49   him because he was different. He just talked about his   50   for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and   51   the first gold medal I had won and put it around his   52  . I told him he was more of a   53   and knew more about success and conquering difficulties than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it   54   and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You   55   that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.” Last summer I received a   56   from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had   57   away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before: Dear Dick,      My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have   58   to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.      I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that.   59  , I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my   60   and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.                                                                                                                   Your friend,                                                                                                                      Matthew 41.
