her memories:
Awaking abruptly on the staircase to the office, I realized the last few minutes had been a dream. In this dream, a young medical doctor was saying, “I am so sorry, Mrs. Lane, I am so sorry.”
“Sorry for what?” I asked. Again he started a sentence with, “I am
so sorry, Mrs. Lane, but you have
early Alzheimer’s.”
My reply was, “Well, I had better go write down my memories while I still have them.”
Lane grew up in South Carolina and met her preacher-husband at Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee. Together they reared five children, one of whom died in 1994 from pancreatic cancer. They have twelve grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.
Lane and her husband have served as pastor or interim in Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Louisiana, Iowa, Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota as well as in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. They presently live in Arnegard, North Dakota, where Lane writes a weekly column for the local newspaper, and her husband, John, pastors the First Baptist Church of Watford City, Watford City, North Dakota.view less
