A Woman and a Fork
There was a young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could only live three months. So as she was getting her things "in order," she
36 her Rabbi (法師)and had him come to her house to
37 certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the
38 , what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Rabbi was preparing to leave
39 the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
"There's one more thing," she said
40 . "What' that?" "This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn't it?” the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm
41 by the request," said the Rabbi.
The young woman
42 . “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of
43 .
In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main
44 were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part
45 I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…”
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket(棺材)with a fork in my hand and I want them to
46 "What's with the fork?"
47 I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."
The Rabbi's eyes were
48 up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of
49 than he did. She had a better grasp of
50 heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.
She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork
51 in her right hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question "What's with the fork?" And over and over he 52 .
During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the
53 he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to
54 . The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the
55 and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.
