Question

I’m always not sure whether my parents love each other or not. Every day they are very busy making money so that they can     a good life for my sister and me. They don’t act in the usual ways that I read in books or I see on TV. Also, they never send     to each other on Feb, 14.

One day, my mother was sewing* a quilt. I quietly sat down beside her.

“Is there love      you and Dad?” asked I.

With a little surprise in her eyes, my mother stopped to raise her head and      me. She said      for long time. At last I heard my mother’s voice:

“Jane,” she said, “Look at this thread*.      sometimes it appears, most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting. If life is a quilt, then      should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there, and      disappears.”

I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her      the next spring, when my father suddenly got     seriously. My mother had to look after him in the hospital for a month. When they      home, every day in the morning and evening, my mother helped my father walk slowly. They often walked without a word. And after two months, my father still couldn’t walk by      . All of us were worried about him very much.

“Dad,     are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.

“Jane,nothing serious. To tell you the truth, I just like      with your mom. I like this kind of life,even if I cannot walk anymore.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant good presents and sweet kisses. But now, I understand that love is just like a thread in the quilt. Love is inside, making our     nice and warm.
