(This is based from two dreams I had recently.  You can decide how crazy they are.) It all started with a sugar glider.  Actually, it started with a dream of a sugar glider.  I was minding my own business on my way to the hospital.  My best friend was having a necessary surgery, and I…

“You overstepped.” These simple two words sent me back to the past.  The words I often heard.  His voice always thunderous above my head, even if I was standing level to him.  He made me look up to him, always.  He made me come to him when he moved, the most annoying.  A father shouldn’t…
