After celebrations
fade away,
I think about
the blessings present
In my life, in the form
of messages and calls,
Taking the shape
of friends reaching out
Days after
the craziness is done.
I think of how
My mother would have
Been at peace to
see me happy,
How she is smiling
down on me,
Proud to see
her daughter feel such
joy.

I sift through
my memories of
My mom over the years,
caring for me
In different stages
of my life.
As I ready myself
for my wedding,
I feel her presence
more than ever,
Yet I still miss her
company immensely.

In three months,
we get married.
I never thought
this would happen,
Yet here I am,
getting my dress
Altered today, after months
of gazing at my gown
In the closet. I'm hoping for
a quick process, but most
Importantly, I look forward
to wearing it in August,
Standing before him as
we declare our love for
Each other.

My hope is laced
with disappointment,
At her not arriving,
yet I could never hate her.
Our connection stays strong
across the ocean;
Despite her saying that
her trip is on hold,
A glimmer of hope glows.
Someday.

Slowly
the responses
begin to enter the
home, some members of family and
good friends.

Weekends
filled with friends and
wedding preparations,
browsing through ideas, making sure
it's right.

Invites
sent out to my
family met with silence,
leaving me to wonder about
some things.

Five months
from now, my big
day is coming, as I
marry the man I have known for
some time.

A brand
new year welcomes
new challenges, plus the
countdown to my wedding day now
begins.

Speaking

After
talking to my
friend last night, I can't wait
for her to arrive after years
of distance.
