Years later, a family member provided us with a photograph after she had died. Sometimes in the mirror I am stunned by the resemblance in my reflection--deep set eyes, too large nose...it's haunting.

She's still alive, so I realize that's a blessing!!<br /><br />My heart goes out to you for your uncle. I just lost a 33-year-old cousin. He was handsome, sweet, funny, caring--just the best guy ever! And, he was too young to leave us.
