Who do you look like most?

I have my mother’s features and my father’s coloring. Because of the latter, people used to say I resembled my father. I first began seeing my mother in the mirror at about age 40, but since her passing, her surviving family members are really seeing and commenting on it.

A couple of years before her death, someone took a photo of us at a family reunion. The two of us were sitting on a bench and we were laughing heartily together. That was when I could really see what her family is noticing now.
