The thread really makes the quilt __30__and durable（耐用的）. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen __31_, but it’s really there. Love is __32__.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t__33__ her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly __34_ seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very __35 _. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father __36__ on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t __37__ me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”__38__ his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and __39__. But from this experience, I understand that love is just __40__ in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making
