I know that I am beginning to look more and more like my dear Mother, and recently have realised that I am now beginning to sound like her. My Mom had many “sayings” to suit all occasions, one of which was often used when something unexpected happened she would say “Well I did not see that coming” |

Me too Paula. I look into the mirror and can see the likeness of my lovely Mother staring back and I also repeat the old sayings from my own childhood, but it is even more scary listening to my daughter admit to her hubby "Oh goodness, I am turning into my Mum!" |

Scary isn't it ? My poor old Dad used to get so confused when he got older, one of Mum's old boyfriend's burst into tears when he saw me at her funeral and spent the entire afternoon calling me by her name. The only consolation is that by the time she was my age she was well into early onset altzheimers , and only had another five years to go. I think I put that wrong, but as far as I know I have still got all my marbles. |

People always say I'm like my Mum, and her brother, who is developing dementia, is convinced that I am her. |

When I was young I used to groan when people told me that I looked like my mother, now my daughters groan when people tell them they look like me. I know just how they feel and what they are thinking. |

I Have turned into my mum. My dad says if you turn into your mum that will be a good thing. He misses her so much. I also say the same things that my mum used to say, and now I sing the same songs to my grandchildren as she sang to us. |

THis is what makes family history so fascinating for me. You see traits and expressions coming down through generation after generation. |
