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  1  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  2  to each other on Feb, 14.

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

“Is there love   3 you and Dad?” asked I.

With a little surprise in her eyes, my mother stopped to raise her head and   4   me. She said   5  for long time. At last I heard my mother’s voice:

“Jane,” she said, “Look at this thread*.   6  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   7    should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there, and   8   disappears.”

I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her   9  the next spring, when my father suddenly got  10  seriously. My mother had to look after him in the hospital for a month. When they   11  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   12   . All of us were worried about him very much.

“Dad,  13  are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.

“Jane,nothing serious. To tell you the truth, I just like   14  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  15  nice and warm.
