I turned to the man and his wife and blurted out, “I have to have this one.” They both smiled and he asked, “Oh you like this one?” I felt then that I needed to explain all of the recent discoveries I’d made, both about my ancestry, my grandmother, and the feathers.  The woman smiled again and said, words I’ll never forget, “She’s still with you.”

While this story obviously begins in those metaphorical mists of time, long before my birth, before the birth of my parents, before my grandparents, and on and on, this chapter really only started in the last several years.  This chapter might be titled “The Awakening.” Or perhaps better the “Re-Awakening.” Those are the more lyrical options. The more to-the-point, in your face, title might be “I Was Fucking Cheated.”
