Clingstone, an unusual, 103-year-old mansion in Rhode Island 's Narragansett Bay , survives through the love and hard work of family and friends.
Henry Wood, the owner, runs the house
like a camp: all skilled workers welcome.

Dolly是我们的邻居,她得了肺癌,已经离开我们快一年了。
在西方国家,当人们患了癌症或其他绝症,第一时间就会通知病人。医生会如实告知,你生命剩下的时间还有多少,让你对去世有充分的准备。 同时,给你时间去安排和计划你需要完成的事情,其中包括你未竟的理想,你可以选择探亲访友,治疗期间还能够尽量做自己喜欢的事情。Dolly,在病情确诊以后,在她自己能够完成一切的时候,对后事按照她自己的愿望作了全部的安排,对外孙女和她智障的女儿做了最大限度的表达她爱的事情。
在她生病以后的一年多里,她乐观开朗,一直到最后的日子,她都是自己做饭洗衣。她一直做力所能及的家务事,买适合自己的佩有帽子的时尚套装。这样,当她自己开车去医院作化疗时,她看上去和正常人一样。
我与她的告别,是马蹄莲安排的。让我亲自为她做中国味道(准确地说是我自己研制的适合老外的口味)的烤排骨。我亲自到超市选料,回家带着调料去她家烹调。接着,我们三人一同享用。
最后,我告诉她我将回中国,我们紧紧拥抱着对彼此说再见,艰难的告别,充满了信心和感动。
Dolly走了,她的微笑和她对待死亡的态度,常常令我想到她,忍不住要写下来。
