Sometimes I really doubt 36 there is love between my parents．Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me．They don’t act in the romantic ways 37 I read in books or I see on TV．In their opinion, “I love you” is 38 luxurious for them to say．Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question．Finally my father has a bad temper．When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper．
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt．I silently sat down beside her and looked at her．
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low 39
My mother stopped her work and 40 her head with surprise in her eyes．She didn’t answer immediately．Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt．
I was very worried because I thought I had 41 her．I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do． 42 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 43 , “Look at this thread．Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable．If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen 44 or anytime, but it’s really there． 45 is inside．”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her 46 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, they both looked very pale．It seemed both of them had had a 47 illness．
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road．My father had 48 been so gentle．It seemed that they were the most harmonious couple．Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees．The sun gently glistened 49 the leaves．All of these 50 the most beautiful picture in the world．
The doctor had said my father would recover 51 two months．But after two months he still couldn’t walk 52．All of us were 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．” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply．
Once I thought love 54 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, 55 life strong and warm．．

There are also 31 to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me.” 32 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 33 respond（回应）and tell her how much they _34 her. Blogs help people 35 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
