During my second year of college I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师) told me to stay in his daughter’s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.
To be 21 , I really didn’t want to stay with “the pastor’s family”. He told me how much the 22 would be — a very low figure that 23 one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the 24 and decided to move in.

We finally feel in love, 33 , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that life turned out more 34 than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go 35 largely because we knew that we are deeply 36 .
It isn’t about marriage …it’s about 37 . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as 38 as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be 39 —you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.”
Is there somebody you can depend on? And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is 40 to look after, and when someone is looking after us.
