"She even sneezes like you, Pam!"

I just can't help but marvel at the similarities that exist due to genetics. There are the obvious physical characteristics that bear resemblance, such as the deep brown eye colour, cheeks, nose, hands, feet, but also the stance, how we sit and walk, and even how we tilt our head in pictures. That first day we just stared at each other soaking it all in. I would imagine children who grow up with their biological parents probably just take this for granted or notice things bit by bit, but this is our first experience in discovering all these similarities at once so it is quite neat and astonishing. As we walked away together, Uncle D exclaimed, "She even walks like you, Pam!" When I sneezed, her friend and cousin D shook her head and laughed, "She even sneezes like you, Pam!" When she was telling a story I saw Jessica's eyes widen and a smirk come to her face. She even breaks up her story like I do to insert things, then gets back to the main idea. We have a good laugh every time we notice something or someone comments on our quirks or characteristics. It is most definitely a special feeling to have found a deep biological connect, and even though I never really needed to know all these similarities for any kind of self-fulfilment, it is a neat treasure to have and enjoy.
