HaHa! I love it! So am I just like my mother?

Well, Ann and Annmarie, some of the stuff my mom was pulling when that photo was taken, in 1954ish, was considered HIGHLY UNMOTHERLY…as in, she was divorcing my bio father to eventually marry the younger Air Force “fly guy” she’d been fooling around with. Yessirreee, quite a soap opera in its day. I am SO grateful that all these folks who knew her–including my second family–have never berated her or badmouthed her for it, and have never held it against ME. This includes my bio father, with whom I reunited about 15 years ago. He was a true lesson in the art of forgiveness and moving on with his life after “she done him wrong.”

Great post, Charlotte! I am nothing like my mother. Nothing. As far opposite as you can get and still be in the same dimension. No OCD, no behaviors or looks or mannerisms. Nada. Now my dad, on the other hand… And you are so cute as a toddler and I agree with Barb, Holy Crap! You haven’t changed a bit in the face.

Charlotte- You look so much like her. . I wonder if she was as spunky as you? Thanks for sharing the wonderful picture.

So you noticed that hairstyle, too? I’d never really thought about that until looking at this photo as I posted it! I guess that means I’m either really, really hard up for a new look…or that some things come full circle!
Right now, I’d be happy for that same flawless skin.

You may look like your mother and your father (a good thing, yes?) but OMG, how much you still look like your cute toddler self! Almost the same hair-do even. I bet kindergarten friends who haven’t seen you since would recognize you immediately!

OMG! How cute are you.
What a soap opera story. Sometimes it isn’t so bad to turn into your mother. LOL Great post!

Well, HI, Fog!

Thanks for stopping by! Lots of fodder in family relationships–and I got a TON of it when I discovered this family/sibs/reunited with my birth father. I doubt your heart will ever die, Fog, dear–and I never intend to get that old, either! ; )

and i have been told at times i have become my father, in some ways i think i have, but i am much more open minded, less anal retentive—he doesn’t much like or get poetry…we are like paul newman and robbie benson in “harry and son”

where did i come from? is a question i often ask myself…

it’s like they said in Breakfast Club…we become our parents….but allison also said “when we get old our heart dies”
i hope that never comes true!
