妹夫打开妹妹书桌最底下的抽屉，拿出一个裹着纸片的小包。
“这个，”
他说，“不是一张纸片，而是一件女士内衣。”
他弄掉纸片，把它递给我。
这是一件精致的女士内衣，是手工缝制的丝制品，整齐地镶着蛛网似的花边。
衣服上甚至还钉着数额惊人的价格标签。
“这是我和简第一次去纽约时买的，至少是八九年以前了，她从来没有穿过，一直在等一个特殊的场合。
我想，现在该是时候了。”
他从我的手上拿过内衣，把它和其他衣服一起摆到**，我们要把它们带到殡仪馆。
他的手在那柔软的面料上摩挲了一会儿，然后砰地关上抽屉，转过来对我说：“千万别珍藏什么东西去等待一个合适的日子，你活着的每一天都是一个特别的日子。”
我牢记着这些话，帮着他和侄女处理这起因意外事故丧生后的葬礼和各种悲伤琐事。
在我从妹妹居住的这个中西部小镇飞往加利福尼亚的飞机上，我还在回想着那些话语。
