Family resemblances

Hate to tell you guys, but look at your dad and I and you will see yourselves in 20 years! My uncle Don passed away and we made the trip to the funeral home. Uncle Bob stood talking to us and all the while I was so stunned with how much he and my dad are alike. Of course, I've always known they look alike, but in watching closely the gestures, facial expression, posture, and even manner of laughing, I couldn't help but be amazed at how much the two are identical, more so than any twins I have ever known. When Aunt Violet walked over to me, I was taken aback. It appeared as if my grandma Coates was right there. What a perfect resemblance. Actually if was eerie as I looked over the crowd and could tell to whom everyone was connected. We all like to think we are unique, but we can't escape the matter of DNA or genes. You'd think our family was cloned! My cousin Diane looks just like her mom who looks like her mom. I think I look like a combination of my two parents - maybe more like my dad. What do you think?
