Question

【题目】Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my schooling.

One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, 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. Then, she said, “Susan, 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. 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, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other. But after two months my father still couldn’t walk by himself. I was so 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.

Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
