Generations
top-my mother, middle-my biological daughter, bottom-me
And the back story is…
I didn’t see a picture of my daughter until after the longest stretch of time in my life…23 years after I gave her up for adoption. The reunion specialist I hired found her high school annual in a library.
I thought she was beautiful but could not see a trace of myself in her. So I didn’t really believe she was mine.
Then I remembered this photo of my mother when she was in the Navy at 21 years old. When I laid the photos side by side, I saw it!
The photo at the bottom is from my high school annual.
I was going to say that you all look very much alike. I hope it was a happy reunion and continues to be a blessing to you both.

I lost my mother when I was pregnant with my daughter but I got to meet her about 20 years ago. What a lovely young woman she is and what amazing parents she got to have!!!
Thanks for your comment.
Strong genes. Great response to the challenge.

Thanks Marie. I wasn’t sure about my interpretation. These days, watching the changes in my young grandsons, captures the implacable warp-speed movement of time better than anything. That’s when I thought of these photos.
so true.
Wow, they look almost identical! Even styled the same, without planning it
Thanks Snow. I hadn’t even thought about the styling.
Styled by DNA 🙂
The resemblance is striking. Three lovely ladies.
