Finding a crucial piece of
information to locate his
forbears’ origins a long lost
cousin called for more
missing links to fill in gaps
in the picture puzzle.
A chaotic tapestry of
random events outside the
families’ control, misdeeds
and misunderstandings, feuds
and partings appeared as
he intertwined his new
information with ours.
He longed to travel back
in time to speak to this
person, to that one, tell
them to have compassion
explain this and that,
make peace between them.

That is a beautiful passage:
“He longed to travel back
in time to speak to this
person, to that one, tell
them to have compassion
explain this and that,
make peace between them.”

So very true ! It is just that this cousin had had a long hard search and was quite exasperated with them all.
