WHY WAS THERE ICE ON MY CAR THIS MORNING!? If Texas could just decide on what season it wants to be in that'd be super! (Especially if its not the bitter cold) It was so cold I got a headache from walking in the cold wind. Ugh I was wearing shorts like a week ago...Whatever. So my mind has been dwelling on certain things and I thought I'd share my thoughts with you in place of a memory today. Since my mom's arrival in heaven I have started to notice neat little coincidences that I hadn't seen before. I've said before that my mom was my best friend, and that is very true, but we still had a mother daughter relationship. While I got to know her as a teenager I will never truly get to know her as an adult or hear stories about her adult hood from her own perspective.
Since being in college, though I've noticed that my mom and I had a lot more similarities than previously noted. For instance I decided to cut my hair differently a couple of months after my mom passed away and a week later I found a picture of my mom on her honey moon with the same exact haircut I had just got. In this picture we look so alike (including clothing choices) that all of my college friends thought the picture was of me. Which is incredibly awesome, growing up no one ever said that I looked like my mom and now that she's gone I can see parts of her in me. The best thing I have discovered to date though is this beaut.
Wait. Just let this sink in. Why am I so excited about this picture of my mom? Because it is a really good reminder on how similar we are. (Especially when it comes to how photogenic we are) I showed a friend this picture of my mom and all she had to say was, "It all makes sense now." Which cracks me up, because it is so true! I had the exact same reaction upon finding this picture. To better explain I've included a picture of my photogenic self. Take it all in. You're welcome. We're the same person and I'm beyond ecstatic.
As my roommate, Amy, so wonderfully put, "The apple doesn't fall to far from the tree."
Like mother like daughter.
Love Always,
Erin
