I Have Not Been Unhappy My Whole Life!

Bird is a unique character in that he tries to find permanence in his life in such a way that is very different from the other characters.  He, just like the rest of his family, misses his father, but he copes with the 'hole" in his heart by founding an unshakable belief in God.  THis illuminated text explores Bird's goals and relationships.  In the end, the story is resolved with Bird helping his sister.
