A
My mom said she never liked to use the drive-through at the bank because it was so indifferent.She wanted to be able to go inside and give people a hug.That’s why it was only halfway surprising to see her hugging the bank teller one Christmas.
We planned my dad’s funeral (葬礼) sitting beside the Christmas tree, my mom and me.My brother had left to collect his family.My husband had gone back to our home to pick up our clothes.Dad had died suddenly, so we were unsure if what was happening was just a dream.
So, on that December day, my mom and I sat with Dad’s favorite Perry Como Christmas Album playing and decided who we would ask to be pallbearers (抬棺人) and readers.The doorbell and the phone had been ringing almost constantly with people asking what we needed.My mom kept telling me how grateful she was for what the kindness people offered.
The street I grew up on is a dead end with only five houses, so, of course, we knew our neighbors well.We were comforted when all of them, along with some of their kids, and so many of our relatives came to Dad’s wake (守夜) and funeral.But what surprised me most was a host of other people who came to pay their respect: his American Legion friends, the bartender from my parents’ favorite restaurant, the postal workers, the woman who cut his hair, his dentist and the tax collector, and, of course, the bank teller.
It was a hard Christmas, but I learned that neighbors are not just the people who happen to live on the same street.Neighbors are those people who are part of your life and give you a sense of belonging.
