他们回家后，每到黎明和黄昏，母亲总会搀扶着父亲在乡间小路上散步。父亲从没有那样温柔过。他们看起来就仿佛是世间最和谐的一对。路旁有许多漂亮的鲜花、绿草和树木，阳光透过叶子的缝隙温柔地照射在上面，所有这一切勾勒出一幅世间最美的画面。
医生说，两个月后父亲就能病愈。不过，两个月后他还是不能独立行走，为此，我们都很担心。
“你感觉如何，爸爸？”有一天我问他。
“苏珊，不要担心我。”父亲慢慢地说，“不瞒你说，我很喜欢和你妈妈一起散步的感觉。我喜欢这样的生活。”从他的眼神中，我读出了他对母亲那份深深的爱恋。
曾经，我以为爱情是与鲜花、礼物和香吻密不可分的。可是，经历了这些后，我明白了：爱情就如同我们生活中被子里的丝线，隐藏于生活之中，令生活变得更加稳固和温暖。
忍耐的报答

Sheila stomped into the staff room， her uniform plastered with someone's dinner. "I don't know how you do it！" she fumed to Helen， the nurse supervising the evening shift. "Mrs. Svoboda just threw her tray at me again， and she's so agitated I don't know how l' ll be able to clean her up before bed. Why don't you have so much trouble with her？"
Helen smiled sympathetically. "I've had my share of rough nights with her， too. But I' ve been here， longer and， of course， I knew her husband." "yeah， Troy. I've heard about him. It's about the only word I can understand when she gets going."
"Sheila， "Helen began hesitantly. "I know it's hard to work with people like Mrs. Svoboda. When Mrs. Svoboda was admitted she wasn't as bad as she is now， but she was still pretty spicy. She used to give me grief over the smallest thingsā her tea wasn't hot enough， her bed wasn't made up right. On her bad days she'd accuse us all of stealing her things. I had no patience with her， until one day her husband happened to be there during bath time. I was gearing up for the usual fight with her when he asked if he could help. 'Sure， ' I said gratefully. Good thing the safety restraints were on because she began kicking and screaming."
