Today while in my continuing quest for more knowledge I learned that a daughter actually has more of her mother's DNA than her father. When I heard this, I thought: "Oh, cool, I have more of Helen in me than Gordon." However, I have always felt like I looked and acted more like my father than my mother...Is that because I spent 27 years with him and only 10 with her? Whatever the thought, it gives me a little warm fuzzy today to think that I am a squeak bit more like my mother.

DNA

Thank you, a wonderful compliment!
I am for sure much more like my Mother than my Father. But, I find, there are two things I do that are most definitely traits from Dad: my goofballiness and my sensitivity.
I find I odd that I got those from Dad. I never saw my Mom cry but for one time, which when I put the timeline of her death together - was probably just a few months after she found out she had AIDS...
Tears for the little girl in the photo and for you today. My mother also died 27 years ago, and not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about her and missed her. I'd give up everything for one more moment with her.
