PASS the Turkey and the Meds!
Having an undiagnosed bipolar mother who unbeknownst to me had been self-medicating for years with drugs and alcohol was a terrifying roller coaster ride any time of year, but it got extra fun at those magical times of year that were supposed to be special.

What Happens Next?
"Zartolomhew Brendan Rhenderghast Plim" I turned the tag over in my fingers, It was hastily made of bark and tied with sinew around the sleeping little boys wrist with care. He rested at the base of an elm tree, the light from the late midday sun streaming through the trees leaves onto his small unconscious form.

A cup of tea with Death
*The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window* Hunh, that was a weird thing to be engraved on a tree in a creepy forest at night……..it was late July and with those words, it was as if a January frost had crept its way into my blood.

The Art of Paying it Forward
Dad........ What does that word mean to you? To me, it means love, guidance, somebody who is always on your side but has the wisdom and courage to pull you back when you’re about to jump off of a cliff, and to listen …… to be THERE when you don't feel like you can stand on your own anymore........it also means someone who is not just my Dad but also a human being too, an intricately flawed human being with issues and problems that he has spent his whole life trying to overcome and other ones that he refuses to face -probably because they are just too much for even his indomitable will.
