Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to earnmoney in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.They don't act in the romantic ways that I read inbooks or I see on TVIn their opinion,"I love you"is too luxurious for them to say.Sending flowers to eachother on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question.

One day,I asked my mother if there is love between her and my Dad when she was sewing.

My mother stopped her work and didn't answer immediately.I was very embartassed because I thought I had hurt her.

"Susan,"she said ,"Look at this thread.Sometimes it appears,but most of it disappears in the quilt.The threadreally makes the quilt strong and durable.If life is a quilt,then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seenanywhere or anytime,but it's really there.Love is inside."

I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her until the next spring.At that time,my father suddenly got sickseriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital,theyboth looked very pale.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 walk slowly on thecountry road.My father had never been so gentle It seemed they were the most harmonious couple.The doctor had said my father would recover in two months.But after two months he still couldn't walk byhimself.All of us were worried about him.

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

"Susan,don't worry about me."he said gently."To tell you the truth,I just like walking with your mom.I likethis kind of life."Reading his eyes,I knew he loves my mother deeply.

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