Prologue
Life Purpose
Mozart found his calling at age five, composing his first minuet. Picasso discovered his talent for painting when he was nine. Tiger woods swung his first club well before his second birthday.
Me? I was eight when I discovered my purpose in live. It was 1986 and I was at the St. Thomas Church next to the Hyatt Regency in Weehawken, New Jersey. It was my cousin Lisa's wedding.
I walked over to the pew were my dad sat with my little sister, Christine. He was busily trying to tie a dark purple ribbon formed into a headband on Christine's head into a bow. I slipped into the pew and said, "Here, Dad. Let me." I took the two ends of the tied ribbon from his hands and began to tie a bow. I could feel my dad's uneasy look.
It was our first big family event since Mom died and Dad was not in great shape.
Christine hopped off the pew and turned to our dad. "Daddy, can you take me to the girl's room? I have to go pee."
Our dad gave us an awkward look; then glanced over at me. I took his hint and said, "Uh, come on Chris. Let's go." Then I led her to the bathroom.
While I waited for my sister, I looked in the large full body mirror and I examined my white formal dress. I pretended that I was the bride and smiled as I thought what my groom would look like: tall; handsome; brunet; brown eyes; gorgeous.
Someone screamed behind me. I turned to see my cousin, dress in her wedding gown, as she ran over to the mirror. I quickly moved out of the way. She examined the back of her dress in the mirror. There was a large tear in the back alone her waist. She cursed as she looked at it.
I giggled behind her. She turned to me and she gasped lightly. "Oh, Miyu, I'm sorry." She apologized for cursing.
"It's all right." I told her; then explained, "We have cable."
My cousin looked at herself in the mirror again. "What am I going do to? What the––"
Christine walked into the room, coming from the bathroom. Both my cousin and I looked at her. I noticed my sister's ribbon on her head and smiled. We took the ribbon from her hair and weaved it into my cousin's gown, fixing the tear. My cousin looked down at me with grateful eyes. "Thank you, sweetie. You saved the day." She motioned me to go behind her. "Miyu, get my train."
I smiled widely and picked up the train. The music started and my cousin and my uncle walked down the isle. I, as proud as ever, followed while I held the train.
And that was the moment. That's when I fell in love with weddings. I knew that I had helped someone on the most important day of their life. And I couldn't wait for my own special day…
Twenty years later…
A sleeves-less white, frilly gown was on me. I stood on a mini stage while the attendants of the store hemmed and put on the finishing touches. It was like I was a cake and the master chefs were checking to make sure that ever petal of the flower was perfect.
"Oh, Miyu, that's stunning. It really is. It's the perfect dress." One of the ladies said.
"Oh my goodness. You look so beautiful." The seamstress said as she looked at the mirror reflection of me in the dress.
I turned around, bringing the dress with me. "Really?" I asked with an impossible to hide smile. "You really think so?"
"It's amazing," she replied as she went back fiddling with the skirts of the dress, "like it was made for you."
A lady walked over to me with a telephone in hand. "It's for you." She extended the phone out to me. "It's the bride."
"Oh, great, thank you." I took the phone and held it up to my ear. I spoke into the receiver. "Hello, Suzuka?"
"Miyu, is it ready?" Suzuka's voice spoke over the phone.
"Yes, they just finished it." I told her.
"It fits?" She asked.
"I know. Thank God we're the same size." I chuckled.
"Are you going to come now?"
"I'm gonna have it over to you in just a minute." I told her. "Don't worry about anything. Okay?"
"Thanks, Miyu. You're the best!"
I chuckled a bit more.
