Because my father is such a terrible dresser, my mother was in the habit of putting her silk scarves around the hangers of his outfits that matched. She would put her scarve around the neck of the hangers of slacks, shirts and ties that matched. My father became increasingly irritated by this practice as it made him feel like a child, so she quit doing this. A short time later, she died very suddenly. On the morning of her funeral, I walked into my father's bedroom and he was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking very pale and stunned. I asked him what was wrong and he pointed to the back of the closet. There hung his black wool suit, the suit he only wore to funerals and weddings. On the hanger was my mother's favorite scarf. No other scarf hung in the closet.
