         When I was an education official in Palo Alto,California,Polly Tyner,the president of
    our school board,wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times.Polly's son,Jim,
    had great difficulty in school.He was classified as educationally disabled and required a
    great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers.But Jim was a happy kid
    with a great smile that lit up the room.His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties,
    but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride.Shortly after
    Jim finished high school,he was killed in a motorcycle accident.After his death,his mother
    submitted this letter to the newspaper.
                                                                              
         Today we buried our 20－year－old son.He was killed instantly in a motorcycle
    accident on Friday night.How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be
    the last time.If I had only known I would have said,"Jim,I love you and I'm very proud of you."
         I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the
    many who loved him.I would have taken time to appreciate his beautiful smile,the sound
    of his laughter,his genuine love of people.
         When you put all the good qualities on the scale and you try to balance all the irritating
    phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud,the haircut that wasn't to our liking,
    the dirty socks under the bed,etc.,your angry feelings won't amount to much.
         I won't get another chance to tell my son all I would have wanted him to hear,but,other
    parents,you do have a chance.Tell your young people what you would want them to hear
    if you knew it would be your last conversation.The last time I talked to Jim was the day he
    died.He called me to say,"Hi,Mom! I just called to say I love you.Got to go to work.Bye."
    He gave me something to treasure forever.
         If there is any purpose at all to Jim's death,maybe it is to make others appreciate more
    of life and to have people,especially families,take the time to let each other know just how
    much we care.
         You may never have another chance.

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
          To hear more from these patients and the many others wh. have taken part in the series, explore the links (链接) below to all the Patient Voices we've heard from in the past 12 months.
