“As is the mother, so is the daughter.”
Ezekiel 16;44
What an apt quote today, after the last week, Spidey.
I took Lil Princess to get a haircut last weekend and had a trim, myself. I took one picture of myself, and for the first time, it really hit me how much I look like my mum!
More occasions this week corroborated the fact, as certain little people kept calling me by the name they use for my mum… innocently saying, “Sorry, but you look so much like her!”
And my brother stated with shock, I think, at how much I resemble or mother now.
That’s not a bad thing.
Each wrinkle and line has developed through the smiles and laughter in my life.
When I look at my mother’s eyes, her love shines through as she smiles, and those little lines around the edges show the depths of her love for us all.
My Mum is a beautiful person, inside and out. It’s an honour to see her so clearly in my reflection. I notice the crinkles at the sides of my eyes, the lines beginning to appear in different places.
I hope that is what others see in me, too.
And, that it is not only the outside that resembles her but what she stands for, inside,
So, Peeps, how closely do you resemble your parents? 😊
But I Smile Anyway...

Hi Ritu, what a lovely post about your mother. I look a lot like my mother too. She is currently smaller than me, but as I get older I am also getting smaller.

I never thought I looked like anyone in my family, but that has changed the older I get. I look a lot like my sister and my mother, but I don’t see it as much unless I am looking at a photo.

You’re truly blessed to have both of your parents. My mother passed when I was 3… I never knew her and I have no memories of her. I love the photo of you and your parents. ❤️

It is amazing how different loggers ‘come across’ via their words. I have grown very fond of many, including you, Ritu. Strength and kindness resides in you via your dear mother, which must please you no end…When I took my then new ‘beau’ to meet my family, he later said: “I knew I’d chosen the right woman, when I met your mother. I want to grow old with you as you are so like her!” That made me cry…We celebrated our 70th wedding anniversary on 15th February and haven’t a clue how that’s happened…(Hubby is nearly 95 and me 91) Both mentally 50. Aren’t we lucky?!

Oh, Joy, thank you 🥰
That is so lovely of you to say 🤗 I’m also extremely fond of you, too 😊
And, what a lovely story about your hubby’s words. I wish my own marriage is as fruitful! We are at 21 years, so a bit of catching up to do! 🤗🤗
