It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long
1 , my friends and I had decided to
2 and take some extra courses. We had
3 the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was
4 into a stuffy (愁闷的)former laundry room and each night was a new
5 in humidity. Still, it felt
6 to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks,
7 , the thrill faded and
8 set in. I found myself sitting alone each night
9 my home and my parents.
My summer holidays had always been a
10 time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I
11 helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food
12 with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet
13 . Now I found myself missing them
14 than ever.
Finally when my
15 were at their lowest, I heard a
16 at the door. I opened it and was
17 to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my
18 heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating
19 , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the
20 that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.
