Who do I look like?






We have a little joke in our house - though it's not really that funny! Seeing my son's grandmother was born from an affair his great-grandmother had with a doctor, that's where Aaron must have got his brains. It definitely wasn't from his parents. We also wonder where he got his looks - Mark doesn't think he looks like him at all; and my sister said he has the `Grant nose'.

I remember always being told as a child how much like my mother I was. At the time, I destested it, because Mum had died at such an early age, and I was certain that meant the same for me. Then an old friend of the family sat down with me one day and told me all about my Mum, and what a wonderful woman of God she was. From that day on, I just wanted to be like her.

Going over some old, old photos recently I found one of my Great Uncle Jack, and he looked so much like Aaron. That's where the that `nose' comes from. My sister was right.

Seriously though, It doesn't really matter where our looks come from. I know our son has a lot of my husband's personality traits - mainly the good ones (I ignore the bad ones) ; and most importantly he has a faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; a faith he may have learnt from his parents, but is his very own!!
