Grandma clutched the pottery shard, tears streaming down her weathered face. The Keeladi excavation had unearthed her ancestor's fingerprints, literally pressed into clay two thousand years ago. She'd traveled from Toronto, carrying her daughter's skepticism and her own desperate hope. The museum director smiled as colleagues nodded appreciatively.

It was something waiting, patient, for hands willing to hold it close again.
