Until I Remembered
by: Jon Crane

Saturday Ramblins, Vol. 1, No. 25 (November 28, 1998)

I cried this week because I had no where to go on Thanksgiving day--no turkey dinner--until I remembed the times in the last few years when I had nothing to eat. I cried this week because my daughters are so far away and none of us have the means to be together, until I remembered how empty my life would have been without them.

I cried this week because Lana's children are in Alaska and might as well be on the moon, until I remembered how knowing them has made my life richer. I cried this week because all of my closest friends live so far away, until I remembered all the good memories we've built up over the years.

I cried this week because I thought my life was over after Lana died, until a special friend, an angel, reminded me the best is yet to come.

I cried this week, feeling all alone while others were preparing for their holiday, until God nudged me and reminded me that my life has been a wealth of riches that money could never have bought.

I cried this week from gratitude for the fullness that has been, and continues to be, my life. Thanks be to God.
