Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat beside her.
"Mum, is there1between you and dad?" I asked in a very low voice.
With surprise in her eyes, she2her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread (线). It can hardly be seen,3it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."
I couldn't understand her4the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.
After they were back, my mother helped my father walk5on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.
After two months my father6couldn't walk by himself.
"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.
"Susan, don't7me," he said," I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life."8his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our9. Love is inside, making life10and warm.
