During my second year of college I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师) told me to stay in his daughter’s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.
To be 21 , I really didn’t want to stay with “the pastor’s family”. He told me how much the 22 would be — a very low figure that 23 one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the 24 and decided to move in.
At the end of the term I had planned to find 25 living place, since the daughter was to 26 home. To my delight, they 27 that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their 28 —her people. I 29 accepted the offer.
As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be 30 to have a little sister to look after. But when I later met my new sister, I 31 that she was more independent than I first 32 .
We finally feel in love, 33 , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that life turned out more 34 than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go 35 largely because we knew that we are deeply 36 .
It isn’t about marriage …it’s about 37 . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as 38 as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be 39 —you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.”
Is there somebody you can depend on? And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is 40 to look after, and when someone is looking after us.

Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more 36 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 37 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的) clothes. I had often 38 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 39 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 40 . I can still remember he was always 41 a smile and willing to help. He always 42 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 43 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 44 home.
Weeks passed and the 45 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 46 before the holiday break. I smiled in 47 as the last of them hurried out of the door. Turning around I saw David 48 standing by my desk.
“I have something for you,” he said and 49 from behind his back a small box. 50 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 51 I saw nothing. I looked at David‘s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s 52 .”
“Oh no, it isn’t,” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”
