①Sometimes I don't really believe whether there is love between my parents. "I love you" is too difficult for them to say. My father even has a bad temper(脾气). When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to get angry.
One day my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they returned from the hospital, every day in the morning and evening, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so kind. It seemed they were the most harmonious(和谐的) couple.
②The doctor said my father would get well in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.
"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.
