Every day, we receive a lot of love from others. But how much love do we return? 46 the winter vacation，I made a survey with ten questions, including “Can you remember the birthdays of 47 parents and friends?” and “Are you 　48 with your way of returning their love?”

Among the 50 people I interviewed in a park, 　 49　　 unforgettable was an old man. He　 no longer had any　 50　 to contact his best friends and parents because they all died ten years　 51　 . I could see deep sadness through the ears in his eyes.

After　 52　 the interview, I started to ask myself how long it had been 53 the last time I met my parents or best friends. Being busy is always my excuse.

If today we had to leave the world, how could we return our 　54　 to parents and friends? If we don’t want to　 55 regret, we have to value every moment with parents and friends.
