Lesson #33

Lesson #33 - Families look alike.

My mom purses her lips like her mother did. My dad and his sister could pass for twins. My brother looks just like my dad did at his age. I look just like my mom when I straighten my hair.

Of course, in one picture of me that I saw this weekend, I also resembled a Chucky doll when I was about 2 years old. So, maybe this lesson should be taken with a grain of salt. (No comments from the peanut gallery, please.)

It's comforting to know that we resemble the people we came from and that those who come after us will carry a little bit of us with them. Because in my dad I see his mom and in my mom I see her dad. And in me, I see both of them. And that's a good thing.

Thanks, Mom & Dad. =)

I love you both!
