It is with great pleasure I bring back to our blog, KM Daughters who are sharing some very special thoughts with us....
As little girls we idolized our dad. He worked three jobs for
much of his career to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. We
didn’t have much in economic terms, but looking back on our childhood we agree
that we had everything we needed and that we were rich in the love our parents
lavished on us.
We couldn’t afford a car, so taking walks together as a
family was major entertainment. Those frequent expeditions on foot taught us to
appreciate togetherness and inspired our love of nature.
Another childhood joy inspired us – listening to the
children’s stories Daddy wrote for us.
He carried a steno book everywhere with him and whenever he
had a few minutes downtime, whether waiting for a bus or a break from one of
his jobs, he wrote. His stories set our imaginations soaring.
Many years later we continue the tradition of walking and
talking. On one of our sister walks, K.M. Daughters created the storyline for
our first book, Reunion for the First Time (Coming in 2016 from The Wild Rose
Press). Every book since has started the same way – walking together on Prairie
Paths, along a sandy beach, uphill on mountain paths or suburban sidewalks like
the days we strolled hand in hand with our father.
We can’t help feeling that Daddy is still with us on those
walks inspiring his daughters to weave tales of their own.

Lovely Thursday Thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
You sisters share such a rich heritage of a father who wrote. What a tremendous influence. I'm pleased to hear the walks continue. Cheers
Oh my gosh, this made me cry! What precious memories and what a legacy your daddy left you. I assume he was a wonderful writer, because you girls sure have a gift. Love and hugs!
I think it's great that sisters can work together. So wonderful that you also share great memories of your father. Wishing you much success with your writing.
Hi Marilyn, Ally, Marissa and Jacqueline, Thank you so much for your kindness and for visiting with us today. We count you among our "sisters". HUGE hugs to you, Ally - and to all.
My daddy used to write me stories, too.
