It’s funny how my sisters and I are told by various people that we could be twins, or that we look nothing alike. I often see my Dad in Jack’s face, and I thought I saw my own as well until my sister, Judy resurfaced this picture. I had never seen it. The picture was taken just shy of my first birthday. I have to say, Jack is the spitting image of my sister. Like Jack, she too has Daddy’s smile, and a little bit of his spirit to boot. Maybe that’s why I love her so much <3.

I think people see in children who they want to see. Can’t tell you how many times people have said my older niece is “mini-me” of Debbie…when in reality she looks NOTHING like here, and is eerily a twin to Steve at the same age. I was there when he was 12, I know this! She is Steve with long hair, it’s undeniable. Yet, they tell the mom she looks like her.
Meanwhile, my grand-niece who is 4 looks just like her great-grandmother’s sister’s daughter … whatever that would be. Pieces and parts emerge with time and it’s very comforting to see the ties.
