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(闷热的)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　on each other’s news, 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.
