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.

One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, may I ask you a question?” I said. “What?” she replied, still doing her work. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer my question at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.
I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“ Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there."
I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. The doctor had said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. 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 like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Sometimes I doubt(怀疑) whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read about in books or I see on TV. They never say, “ I love you.” It’s not their style.
One day, my mother was sewing(缝) a quilt. I sat beside her.
“ Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.
“ What?” she replied, still doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
She stopped her work and raised her head. Then she bowed her head and went on sewing.
I thought I had hurt her. At last I heard my mother say: “Susan, look at this thread(线). Sometimes it appears(出现), but most of it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere, but it’s really there.”
I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her until the next spring. My father suddenly got seriously sick. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.
After they got back, she helped my father walk slowly down the country road every day. My father had never been so gentle.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently, “ I just like walking with your mom.”
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

22 July
Dear Penny,
I hope you're all well. We're all terribly busy, even Polly, who has finally managed to find some work. U 1 , it's not a very good job, but at least it's a job, and maybe she will find something better in the future. She has also found somewhere e 2 to live－a small flat about five miles away, so now there's only Joe and me left at home. After 24 years of having children to look after, it's very strange to have the house to ourselves, although I do enjoy coming home to a tidy house at the e 3 of a day. By the way, Polly has broken up with her boyfriend, Peter. We were very sorry, because we got on well with him, and they s 4 to be in love.
Alice has some interesting news, as well. She passed her final exams. We heard last week, so of course, we had a small family celebration. She doesn't know what she wants to do yet, but she has plenty of time to decide. She doesn't have a boyfriend at the moment, either. I don't know what's the matter with them! They're both pretty e 5 ! Joe's fine, but he hasn't been able to do m 6 in the garden because of the weather, which has been terrible. Actually it has rained every day for the p 7 few weeks. It's unbelievable, isn't it?
Anyway, that's all for my news. How are you all? What are you up to?
Do write soon and tell me everything!
Love
Jacky
