Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to     in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the     ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too     for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of     .

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there         between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She       her head and continued to sew the quilt.

I was worried because I thought I had       her. I was         and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:

“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread. Sometimes it       , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt         . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen       , but it’s really there. Love is     .”

         I listened carefully but I            her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly          seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked         _ . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father       on the country road.

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

“Susan, don’t     me.” He said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”       his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and         . But from this experience, I understand that love is just       in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
