words that define...

words are very powerful things. that's not a new statement, nothing profound and revolutionary about it, just the plain truth.
When I met my husband 10yrs ago, there were 6 words that catipulted us into friendship and eventually marriage. If you were to ask him about those words now, there is no doubt in my mind he would instantly be taken back in time and remember the significance of that simple statement .
8 yrs later I sat and listened helplessly as words came at me, bringing an end to our marriage, stinging words that will forever stay with me.
So many significant events are surrounded by a windstorm of words that serve to define who we are.
