My brother was digging up some tree trunks from some dead trees in my parents yard. As he was digging, he found a CTR ring. My mom posted it to the family's chat. She was wondering who it might have been.
One sister assumed someone had dropped it and it got buried over time. No one really said anything. But then my inactive sister (yet still fully a believer), texted me out of the chat and asked, "did you bury that ring as an act of rebellion?"
So...
When I was a teenager, I got into a fight of some sort with my dad. I remember I was out by that tree for quite awhile calming down. After I did calm down, I remember I went back into the house and played the hymn Love at Home as a passive aggressive way to make him feel guilty. That has been all that I remembered over 25 years later.
Until my brother found this ring. The full memory was unlocked. I had completely forgotten about the ring part until now, but now I can remember it all vividly.
I haven't admitted to the rest of my family that it was mine. I'm the only one who has left the church, so they probably all assume it was me anyway. Crazy how things work out.
