Question

【題目】 Sometimes, I doubt whether there is any love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money. They don't act romantic ways couples do in books and on TV. They never say "I love you". It's not their style.

One day, my mother was sewing (縫) a quilt (被子). I sat down beside her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while.

"What?" she asked, still working.

"Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her. She didn't answer right away. I thought I had hurt her. At last I heard my mother say, "Susan, look at this thread (線). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt strong. If life was 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, "I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life."

Once, I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. Now, I know that love is the thread that holds a family together.
