It's a weird feeling, huh? When I graduated from teachers' college, I had my hair up and more conservative makeup than I normally wear, and I looked exactly like my grandmother did as a young woman.
I've started to do that too- look like my father, except it's on;y the lower half of my face. The rest still looks like my French grandmother on the other side.
But we had a theory, back in the 80s, that people are attracted to someone who looks like them, so possibly there's a reason the same features turn up.
A few years back I relooked at a photo of my Dad, my Sister, and I sitting on a bench. Dad would have been into his 80's by then. I finally saw the family resemblance. Shudder
