Last saturday, a cousin was wedded to her long-time boyfriend. She is the second of three daughters. Except for her eldest sister, i knew little about them. But her father, my uncle, had fondest regard for me. A month before the wedding, he asked me to help compose a farewell note to her daughter which he will deliver during the wedding. He was kinda distraught when I told him it has to be his piece. Eventually I did compose something for him.
During the wedding reception, he started off with a wonderful opening, but to my surprise, the rest of his speech was mine! It felt different when somebody delivered my speech. I had goosebumps all over.
To top it all, I was asked to say, in behalf of all her cousins on the paternal side) a few inspiring words to the newly-weds.
If only my uncle had made efforts to bring her daughters closer, it would have been such a grand event...
