Love in everyday life
One rainy morning, I was going to school without an umbrella. My grandmother silently followed me and put her own umbrella in my hand. She didn't say a word, just smiled and turned back home.
I kept thinking about her wet hair on my way to school. That made me feel both sorry and warm. To my surprise, she had been waiting at the door since I left. This touched me deeply.
From this, I learnt that love is often shown in small things. I believe that true care doesn't always need words—it is always there, like a silent umbrella in the rain.
