Look Like My Mom - Thoughts

I posted this photo on Facebook back in March:


One of my friends commented, "you look so much like your mom in this picture - so sweet."

Uh, What??

Instead of responding with WTF, I sat back and thought about things.

You see, the last time my friend saw my Mom in person was almost 20 years ago. 

And as what happens with time, we age.  And the last five years I saw my Mom she looked "elderly" and fragile and frail.  Add her illness into the mix, and that made her age even more.  (gosh she'd kill me for even typing these words out)

So, my last visions of what she looked like is not how I would picture myself today.  i.e, the "you look so much like your mom."  I look elderly and fragile?

No....

Right?

lol

I stepped back, though, and of course take it as a huge compliment of course.  And I wouldn't mind at all looking like my Mom.  Just, uh, not the elderly, rail version already lol - give me 20-25 more years first!

Still, super sweet sentiment.  *smile*
