    God bless you, Pam

          昨天又一位朋友病逝。62岁的Pam是我见过的最有趣的一位女士,跟随丈夫移居英格兰定居20年,从事出庭律师,曾经和英国前首相布莱尔的妻子合作出庭辩论, 和丈夫分居后搬回美国麻省定居至今。每次过节家庭聚会,我们都会请她参加,我们早已把她当成家庭成员之一了。不清楚这位典型的美国女士是什么时候开始喜欢北京烤鸭和中国饺子的,但为了她能多吃点,只要她喜欢的,就不应该计较成本。上个月和安东尼一起带她到剑桥的一家中国菜馆吃北京烤鸭,一起度过快乐的三个小时,想不到那是最后一次。我们还约定下次找一家更好的餐馆,找到最地道的北京烤鸭,这个承诺现在也无法兑现。独居的老人,是很危险的,进食不规律,睡眠不规律,或者在浴室滑倒,都是致命的。更可怕的是没有人知道,没有人发现。想起这些,想起她冰箱里的北京烤鸭,心很痛。
          一位如此善良风趣而聪明博学的女士,没有子女,长期独居,心中一直挂念着安葬在英国的丈夫。 她风趣的语言和说不完的律师生涯的趣事,每次却让我更心痛她生命中的遗憾。有些人,总是让人心痛的爱着。
          很挂念这位可爱的朋友,只希望她当时走的时候是平静无痛楚的,希望她心里是欣喜的盼望着与天堂的丈夫重聚。希望他们英格兰的家,能为他们夫妇点上祝福的蜡烛。
