Of course there were a lot of extended family at this gathering, mostly people I have met once or twice in my life.... and certainly do not remember. But, they recognized me because I look like my handsome daddy and my beautiful mother. I was so flattered when people would tell me how much I "look like Bret" or say things like "I see a lot of Denise in her." I love my parents and I love to think that a part of them, who they are, their lives, their history... is in me. And I welcome the opportunity to carry that with me. My only hope is that I represent them well, that they are always proud to be my parents.
trust me, there is no way they couldn't be more proud of, pleased with, and impressed by the person you are!!! :)
