When dad was getting sick he would tell me words mean nothing. Words on television , in plays, in newspapers mean nothing. Yet I am a teacher and I lived by words. I taught children letters, and letter combinations, and words to read and words to comprehend. I showed them books in my 8000 book collections that sent them to new places and new adventures. My life has been made around words. So in my new house their is a vinyl saying in every room, that matches that room.

I used to tell my students when they were called names not to start fights over words, walk away.

But words rule out lives and words are everywhere. Words are important.
