Sometimes I really doubt whether there is
love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for
my schooling.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子).I silently sat
beside her.
"Mom,
is there love between you and Dad? "I asked in a very low voice.
With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her
work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread(线).It can hardly be
seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love
should be a thread. Love is inside."
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.
After they were back, my mother helped my
father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each
other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.
After two months my father still couldn't
walk by himself.
"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." Reading his eyes, I knew 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.
