我们总是在感恩节这天庆祝爸爸11月的生日，即使在他住进养老院之后也是如此。随着时间的推移，这些活动对我来说有了双重意义——一个给爸爸的传统生日派对，以及对他在我生命中给予我的一切的个人感恩。
当我们知道这可能是他的最后一个生日时，全家人决定一起到养老院为西蒙爷爷举办一场盛大的生日庆祝会。那是一场拥挤的派对，充满了喧闹声和美味的食物。爸爸是个出色的讲故事的人，而这里有他有史以来最多的听众。我们都围坐在他身边。
在一个安静的时刻，我宣布现在轮到爸爸听一些故事，换个方式。一个接一个地，人们讲述着发自内心的故事，关于他们小时候的故事，关于爸爸年轻时的故事，那些是家族共享的珍宝故事，而爸爸则用湿润、闪烁的蓝色眼睛倾听着。
故事不断涌现。每一个故事似乎都唤起了另外两个回忆。就连最小的孙子孙女们也迫不及待地告诉爸爸他们为什么爱他。爸爸从头到尾都笑容满面。
几个月后，爸爸在睡梦中平静地去世了，脸上仍然带着满足的微笑。
直到在爸爸的追悼会上，我们才完全意识到那天晚上我们给了爸爸什么，因为我们在爸爸生前就告诉他那些人们通常在葬礼上才会讲的故事，而那时心爱的人已经不在身边，听不到这些话语了。
