    旧友重逢

    五月十三日:
     
    今天的目标是Freedom Trail. 沿着地下的红砖砌成的一条线性路标,在两英里半的路线上,连接了16处历史遗迹。这些目前还保存的,依然在使用的旧日建筑,记录了城市的发展,包含了美国的历史。以前小的时候,都说美国是一个没有历史的国家,沿着Freedom Trail 观光的时候,却在想,北京那些被毁掉的历史遗迹。
     
    晚上,和二十几年没见面的老朋友宋克宁夫妇在一起吃晚饭。说来也巧,他是我小学,中学的同学,太太是我们中学的校友,出国之前,他们夫妇又和我老公是一所大学的同事。他来美国二十年了,很少回中国。在北美能有机会见面,实属不易。女儿第一次来波士顿培训的时候,蒙他们夫妇热情帮助,到处观光。令我十分感动。见面和宋克宁握手时,就感受到了他的那份激动。二十年前的英姿,已荡然无存了。我想不出,也没顾得上问,我的变化是不是也很大。如果走在大街上,我们是否还能认出对方。席间,我们聊了很久,从餐馆又移到了酒店。我们聊故人的信息,聊北美生活的感受,聊子女的未来,聊今后的归宿,聊美,加的不同......同样感慨岁月沧桑,时光飞逝,我们没有提到任何bad news. 但在谈话即将结束的时候。宋克宁提道:中学同学里,我们这个班的目前还都健在,除了一个得癌症的,身体也都还好。其他的班级,已经有人过世了。是啊,生老病死,人之规律。到了我们现在的年龄,对生活开始有了更深的理解。已经开始期望健康,平安,子女成长。我们相互祝福对方在可能的情况下,尽情享受生活,活得快乐。热烈的拥抱,依依惜别。女儿为我们拍了照片。
