For many of us in the United States with a Franco-American or French-Canadian background, we’ve become more and more Americanized with each generation.

We’ve got to start somewhere to relight the spark that never died in the first place. Just like every tulip bulb hidden in the soil, it always grows back no matter how many harsh winters it endures.
