Our neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Thompson were passing by with their dogs too. I told them how weak Dale was. Even though he was finally home from the hospital after suffering two strokes and a heart attack, his breathing still labored from his initial Covid infection in September. I looked down our street, at the homes that would soon be lit in a communal holiday display, and pushed away the thought that this Christmas might be Dale’s last. “We’ll have to skip lighting up this year,” I said. “Dale’s all that matters, and I need to get these dogs walked so I can get back to him.” The couple offered to take care of our Christmas lights, but I turned their offer down because it was just too big a job. 去年11月的一个清晨，我出去遛狗，这是我照顾丈夫戴尔的休息时间。我们的邻居Mr。汤普森太太也带着他们的狗路过。我告诉他们戴尔有多虚弱。尽管他在经历了两次中风和心脏病发作后终于出院回家，但由于9月份首次感染新冠肺炎病毒，他的呼吸仍很困难。我顺着街道往下看，看着即将在公共节日展示中点亮的房屋，打消了今年圣诞节可能是戴尔最后一个圣诞节的想法。“今年我们将不得不放弃照明，”我说。“戴尔才是最重要的，我需要让这些狗走一走，这样我才能回到他身边。”这对夫妇提出要照顾我们的圣诞彩灯，但我拒绝了他们的提议，因为这项工作太大了。 We usually went all out, cleaning the house, wrapping the tree, lining the yard and driveway with candy canes.

The whole neighborhood took on a festive air. I’d always dreamed of being part of it, and when Dale and I heard the news that there was a house going on the market three years ago, we jumped at the chance. 我们通常会全力以赴，打扫房子，包树，用拐杖把院子和车道弄得整整齐齐。对戴尔和我来说，这是一整天的工作。事实上，圣诞节是我们搬到得梅因必看度假区之一的阿什比大道的原因。整个12月，汽车从下午6点到10点在街上游行(唱诗班) 社区团体挤满了人行道。整个街区都洋溢着节日的气氛。我一直梦想着成为其中的一员，三年前，当Dale和我听到有房子上市的消息时，我们抓住了这个机会。 I returned with the dogs as fast as I could, in the meantime, feeling sad that we wouldn’t be able to
