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.
