Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 36 in order to pay the high tuition (学费) for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 37 waya that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is 38 luxurious (奢侈) for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the 39 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 40 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 41 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was 42 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at 1ast I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 43 , “Look at this thread. Sometimes it is 44 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 45 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen 46 , but it’s really there. Love is 47 .”
I listened carefully but I 48 her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly 49 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 50 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother supported my father 51 on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 52 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 54 . But from this experience, I undentand that love is just 55 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list 36 in our past that we felt 37 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud．
This seemed like a very 38 process, but there' s always some 39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer．The instructor then 40 that we find ways to 41 people, or take some action to right any wrong doings．I was seriously wondering how this could ever 42 my communication．
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 43 , I remembered an incident from high school．I grew up in a small town．There was a Sheriff 44 of us kids liked．One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a 45 on him．
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s．o．b．（畜生）．The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 46 ．Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I 47 ．No one ever found out.
Nearly 20 years later．Sheriff Brown's name 48 on my list．I didn't even know if he was still 49 ．Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed．I tried his number．After a few 50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused．"Yes．" "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins．"
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused．“I knew it!” he yelled back．We had a good laugh and a 51 discussion．His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 52 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 53 all these years．I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 54 all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to 55 the past wrongdoings．
