Dad has been gone a while now (since "85) but the love of words he gave me still lingers on. My Dad told me once that he could survive alone as long as he had words to live with: books, magazines, even crosswords and word puzzles. He used to challenge me to come up with one new word a day for him, and if I could find one he didn't know, he would take my dishwashing duty for the day. I think he only had to do dishes a handfull of times at best. I still miss him every day, and I remember a lot of things he taught me. But words are what he gave me most. Thank you for letting me think of him that way again. Thank you for reminding me what my father gave me. Dad has been gone a while now (since “85) but the love of words he gave me still lingers on.
