Very interesting and delightful story to read,Lois! I find it interesting especially in how you preserved the memory of your family history in the names of your children. Whereas the K was once in your last name, now it is in the first names of all your children.
I also did not realize that about K-Mart.
Can't wait to read more or your stories, poems and blogs.

That was an interesting memoir of the birth and life of your girls and your partnership with them all. I think those nurse's were very unfair and unprofessional to allow their egos to stain an otherwise beautiful memory for you. In that respect they undid all the good will they did in helping you to have the birth. They probably had some kind of competition between them, and I am sure you were just a one in long line of people they preyed upon emotionally. I am glad you are OK, but you should never feel bad for someone else stepping out of line like that, and then putting a guilt trip on you. They should have been reported and fired.People that mean to help you, especially if they are already getting paid, have no right to put that burden on you, for you were the patient, and they were there to give to you, not the other way around. They got there reward in there paychecks!

Barbara Louise is actually a pretty name. My mother was named after her two nurses & unfortunately that combination was 'Gertrude Ann' -a name she never used. She always went by Pat an abbreviation of her last name 'Patterson'.
Names are fun and I can understand why you kept the 'K's alive. My father's name is Sam and he name each of children making sure their initials spelled S.A.M.
Wishing you comfort and ease throughout your days. |

Lois this write is so beautiful I love it. Awww glad you carried out your decision to name your daughter the very name you had chosen. Yes, I surely remember Kresge's the 5&10; used go there and certainly enjoyed that as a kid. Wonderful hope you are feeling splendid today and that all is well. I feel the same way you do about my daughter she has definately been the joy in our lives and a blessing.
Continued blessings and thank you so much for sharing your words with me,

| Wow mom, great story and you know I never knew why we all ended up our names starting with the letter K, and I don't think I ever asked, and now I ask myself why? I just thought it was something snappy you guys came up with. I just know when I got in trouble in my younger years, all four K's would be called before mine was reached. I'm glad you found this new hobby of writing. Keep up the good work! Love Krissy |

Everybody in our neighborhood growing up had names that began with the same letter- Stephanie, Shane, and John and Jason. It has a nice hometown ring to it. Props to you for the four K's. Interesting Story. Keep up the good work.

| Interesting write Lois. I used to enjoy going to the old Kreske 5 & 10 Cent stores located in the now defunct downtowns of our cities. Those sure were the good old days. I'd like to see people be faithful to the K Mart stores again because of what it means to our country's economy. Target isn't even an American company and Wal Mart has lost its heritage with Sam gone. Good write my friend. I'd better stop now before I climb back on my pro-American soap box once again. God bless you Lois. |
