The wonderful thing about being unique -- even when you're writing the same story line, you bring your own vision and experiences that make it yours. (And I just realized Jannine said pretty much the same thing!) <br /><br />About look-alikes, when my younger son was born, he looked just like my sister, except for the color of their eyes. Now an adult, he's the spitting image of my father-in-law! Go figure. <br /><br />Enjoy your new granddaughter!Leah St. Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004006100786260893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-6658742244292141922015-04-30T16:05:10.140-04:002015-04-30T16:05:10.140-04:00When I was growing up, people always said I looked...When I was growing up, people always said I looked like my father, but as I've aged, others are saying I look like my mother. Of course I look like neither, but there bits and pieces of each in my looks and in the way I think and act. As you said, Diane, we are unique. Thank goodness.

Doesn't matter, looks or actions, the horror remains the same. I have to say, I didn't believe there was a similarity with my oldest daughter until she had her senior pictures taken. Guess I needed to step back before I could see it. Congrats on that newest girl baby of yours.Margo Hoornstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036077481652050799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-82453780236887973692015-04-30T11:03:30.263-04:002015-04-30T11:03:30.263-04:00Rolynn, you are so right about spouses & frien...Rolynn, you are so right about spouses & friends.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-52479484168315228972015-04-30T11:02:56.780-04:002015-04-30T11:02:56.780-04:00Jannine, that was my daughter's reaction, too,...Jannine, that was my daughter's reaction, too, as a teenager.

We see enough of ourselves in the mirror :-)Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-14256692671213581292015-04-30T10:10:10.508-04:002015-04-30T10:10:10.508-04:00When people say my daughter looks like me, she'...When people say my daughter looks like me, she's horrified. Of course she's a teenager, and I'm ancient by her standards, wrinkled, chubby, that could never happen to her... LOL I agree, we're all unique, even if our stories are sort of like someone else's. Hey, we should use that in marketing. "Fans of so and so will love this book!"Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047728297429025804noreply@blogger.com
