life 38 and would no longer be able to live a life in a(n) 39
way.
One day, he remembered how he had 40 loved
getting letters. He realized that he still had partial 41 of
his right hand and could write with difficulty. Then, he had an idea. “Why not
write to other people who need 42 ?”

prisoners. The prison officer replied that writing to the prisoners would
be 45 . However, it would be 46 prison rules for
them to write back.

idea, the man knew he had to write. He began sending one-way 48 of
love, hope, strength and encouragement.
He 49 twice a week, testing his
strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his
words, 50 his experience and optimism.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially
without hope of a 51 . Frequently, he felt discouraged. He often
wondered if anyone 52 read his letters. However, he
determined to 53 as long as he could help others.

prison mails.
