Before Him Comes Me
2015 Alexandria Sure
Her mother steps into the reflection behind
her. "You look lovely, Zara Faith. I am very proud
of you today. You have taken everything I have taught you and made
it your own. You are ready for whatever is placed in front of
you."
"Thank you, Mother," Zara replies in a hushed
whisper.
There is a knock at the door as mother and daughter look at
each other one last time. Zara’s gaze returns to her own
eyes. She squares her shoulders and takes as deep a shallow breath
as she can. Her mother turns and takes a couple of steps toward the
door leading out of the suite.
"Zara Faith, there is one thing I want you to know
before your ceremony. You may not understand, but I love and cherish your
father with all of my heart. It will be difficult today. The
traditions work. Trust in them."
Harder knocks at the door end the moment mother-daughter
moment. Zara reaches the door first, but knows not to open
it. Stepping aside, she waits as her mother opens the door and lowers
her gaze. Zara's father stands at the door to gather his daughter for the
ceremony.
"It is
time!"
