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 _1_, I really didn't want to stay with “the pastor's family”．He told me how much the _2_ would be — a very low figure that _3_ one home-cooked meal a day．I thought about the _4_ and decided to move in．

       At the end of the term I had planned to find _5_ living place, since the daughter was to _6_ home．To my delight, they _7_ that I share a room with their son．I seemed to have been adopted into their _8_ —her people．I _9_ accepted the offer．

       As I emptied the daughter's bedroom, I thought it might be _10_ to have a little sister to look after．But when I later met my new sister, I _11_ that she was more independent than I first _32_．

       We finally feel in love, _13_, and have looked after each other for many years．There have been times that life turned out more _14_ than either of us could have known．But we have always been able to go _15_ largely because we knew that we are deeply _16_ ．

       It isn't about marriage …it's about _17_．It's about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as _18_ as family．It's about anybody who can say, “I'll be _19_ —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  _20_ to look after, and when someone is looking after us．
