My Cousin David
A few years ago I got very interested in genealogy and ended up connecting with a distant Dzenawagis cousin I discovered through the powers of the internet. She shared a lot of interesting information with me, but what I loved the most was what she told me about the meaning of our shared surname.

To My Dad, On His Retirement
Many years ago, right after she got married, before my brother and I were even a thought in her mind, my mom had a psychic reading. The psychic told her all sorts of things, some of which proved to be true, some of which did not, but I remember her recounting to me that she was told that one day she would have a daughter, and that her daughter would have a special bond with her father.
