And everytime I look in the mirror I see a little of both of my parent staring back at me. It really doesn't bother me. It actually kinda makes me smile a little.

If I sit up straight, I can stay awake, but the moment I lie down, my eyes close and I sleep soundly for about two hours.

Some days when I look ...You are soooo right, Janet. Some days when I look in the mirror, I see my older sister who is deceased. Or I see my mother. Then other times when I least expect it, I see Grandma Casto, mother's mom, whom she called mommy til the day my grandma died at a very old age. Mommy.<br />Yes, I resemble mine. I see the same worry lines, the cracks around her mouth. Even her blue eyes though mine are brown like my daddy's.<br />It is a look passed down through the ages. Each time I delivered a baby, the dr. said, it's another Whittington. Our babies all resembled each other at birth. Funny. But it's the way of life. So get ready younger generation. Here comes age. And lookin' like your elders.<br />Bless you for writing this. BarbB.

I don't look like my mother, but I can see her in both of my sisters who are older than I am. I try to avoid snacks, but if they get in the house, I can't resist all the time. I try to make sure they don't even enter the house....and fail when it comes to chocolate. I do try to eat healthier and get some exercise. Our city has the shame of being rated the "most obese city in the country" or something of that sort.

As much as I'd love to enjoy them too, I don't.

Not only do I see my Mother in me a great deal, and in some ways my Dad too, now that I am older, I have also noticed our daughter, who is just 35, becoming more and more like my husband and me!

She used to take my hands in her's when I was a teenager and say: "Your hands are so pretty baby, I used to have hands just like yours ." We would just lovingly stare intently at each other's hands. I would examine the wrinkles around her knuckles, the thin skin and blue veins. I have the shape of her dear little hands burned into my brain and now mine look exactly like them. In a way it is very comforting, it like a part of her is still with me. :) Have a lovely day ahead Janet! Delisa :)Delisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793953725620270977noreply@blogger.com
