How closely do you resemble your parents?

“On summer nights the world
moves within earshot
on the interstate with its swish
and growl, an occasional siren
that sends chills through us.
Sometimes, on clear, still nights,
voices float into our bedroom,
lunar and fragmented,
as if the sky had let them go
long before our birth.
In winter we close the windows
and read Chekhov,
nearly weeping for his world.

What luxury, to be so happy
that we can grieve
over imaginary lives.”

My brother is just like my maternal grandpa, my sister is just like one of my grandma’s aunts

I must’ve been adopted

Physically, I don’t look like either of my parents. I’m 6” taller than my dad.

I’m a spitting image of my dad without the mustache 30 years ago. We have the same temper, mannerisms, walk the same, just about everything.

I wore my fathers 40 year old tux to a charity event last weekend and it fit me perfectly.

I see my Mom’s eyes when I look in the mirror. She has been gone for 20 years so it’s kind of disconcerting and heart warming at the same time. On the other hand I talk very much like my Dad. Always funny when I meet his friends I have never met and I say something. They are like you are definitely your father’s son.

Splitting image of my dad. Ive had people in different states that knew my dad years go that came up to me and asked if I was related to him

I didn't look much like my dad at 35, which was the age he died, so I have no Idea how he would have aged after that if he'd lived longer.

The only thing we had in common was he and I were both thin and wiry with fairly dark complexions. I had a full head of thick hair and he had a hairline like George Costanza from "Seinfeld".

Now at age 71, I don't look like any of my relatives that lived to be that age from what I can see.

I don't know. I was adopted from the anonymous union of two teenagers in the Shreveport area.
