    Talk about family likeness

    I often wonder who I look like in my family. Not really my mother or my father - but I found this picture of my grandfather on my mothers site. The likeness is stunning, I think. When he was 40 years old. Me - at the same age. I even have a picture of him when he was 65 - just...
