I wish to gather what has been important to you as a daughter in how your father affected your life--- something you would want to share with a new father that would make a difference raising a daughter.
It could be a paragraph or two or up to 1200 words.
Don't worry if you aren't a great writer, this will be a collaboration between us...if you have a great story to share, I can help you polish it!
Fabulous stories have been submitted, but I'm looking for more.
I'm moving deadlines by one month, now I shall take submissions until January 15th, 2010.
