While my siblings and I were always a source of pride for my Mom (who even accepted my Grade 13 diploma on behalf -- another story for another day), and she was proud that I became a broadcaster and journalist, she claimed to be disappointed that I hadn't become a game show host. Dad, on the other hand, wanted me to be a country music DJ.
Yep, the whole famn damily has always been a bunch of jokers.
...Well, there's a chance you were both lost at birth, for sure. ;-)
However, regarding your Mom's picture, Bob, my first thought was family resemblance. It's such a simple and obvious thing - how I have pictures of myself as a kid looking exactly the way Liam does now, and how I've got pics of my sister looking almost exactly like Morgan, and how there are so many similarites between your Mom's face and yours - but the miracle of family resemblance still astounds me.
I hear you, JB. However, anyone who sees pics of my Dad says I'm Ralphie Jr. On the other hand, one of my aunts (Mom had ten sisters) says I look just like my great grandfather. Add this to Ma Horton thinking we were separated at birth (really tricky, since there are a few years between us) and I'm having a major identity crisis!

Your a sweet and loving man Bobby!
Your mom was one lucky gal to have you as a son.
I can only wonder what she thought she had done, to deserve the picture just below.. heh! ;-) Only joshing ya NGB, she struck gold with you...

At least I know I'm not adopted.
