A Mindful Life

From Claire’s birth people have asked me, “Whom do you think Claire looks like?” I have always replied, “Why, she looks like herself!” But really, it’s human nature to want to see family resemblances. I dug up some old photos for reflection. First, here is a photo of me when I was 18 months old.

Now, here’s a photo of my sisters in 1959. My eldest sister (on the left with the huge grin) and I have often been confused for each other; we look quite similar.

And here is a recent photo of Claire. When her smile is bigger her chin is more prominent, but even here it has definition; she does seem to have inherited the Petro chin.

And here’s one more photo for smile and chin comparison.

During the recent visit with Husband’s mother and grandmother, I brought out the photo of me for comparison. The consensus was that Claire looks like her Mommy, though she has her father’s hair color and complexion.
