Have you ever looked in the mirror and seen .................... your grandmother?

I see my mother looking back at me every time I look on the mirror. It still takes me by surprise at times.

Not my grandmother...but I have my mother’s hands - they are identical. When she died my dad found my voice unnerving as, in his opinion, I sounded exactly like her.
My DGD is a mini version of her other grandmother; it’s like looking at Russian dolls.

Yes, I sometimes think I see my grandmother, just a fleeting glimpse sometimes.

Yes! I have her eyes and nose and when I started having to tie my lockdown hair back…….Oooooer.

I wish.
My grandmother was lovely, a very good-looking woman.

I never saw either of my grandmothers. I have no idea what they looked like.

Yes after I reached mid fifties I look at at photo of my parents wedding. My battle axe paternal gran is in the back ground it’s like looking at myself I am not happy?

Every time I look in a mirror. I am like my Granny, even down to my shape and the way I walk, or so I've been told.
I don't mind, I couldn't resemble a nicer woman .

The person I see in the mirror is my Dad I am the spitting image of him.

Both my mum and my grandmother were really slim, elegant, and always well dressed. My grand-mother very classical, my mother was the first generation of 'smart casuals' in the 50s, but wore beautiful dresses too.

I wish!

I wouldn't mind looking like my grandmother. It's preferable to looking like Ronald McDonald which, according to GS aged 4, I do.

I look a bit like one of my aunts.

I don’t think I resemble either of my grans, didn’t know either of them.

My maternal grandma had a sharp tongue, didn’t suffer fools gladly. I think I take after her in that respect.

My sister and I had a phone conversation yesterday about how each of us catch mirror glimpses of deceased elderly relatives!

My maternal grandmother had soft curly white hair. I have grown mine in the past year and found that it too is curly. Yes, I do see Granny in the mirror. She suffered from lumbago to which I can also relate. But she was very artistic and did lovely embroidery and I have not inherited those skills.

Not me. There are only a few photos of one GM, who died when I was four, and my other GM died 36 years before I was born and there is only one photo, which we don’t actually know is her.

I see my dad and/or my late sister reflected back at me nowadays, although curiously, it’s only ever in one particular mirror we have. ?

I have never seen a photo of my maternal grandmother, she died when my mum was about 8. But, I do look like my mum.

I see me in the mirror but photos - I see my late mother. It is quite a shock at times, particularly when I accidentally take a photo with my phone and suddenly see my mother unexpectly.

I see my aunt looking back which is scary.

I am having dinner with my ‘grandmother’ this evening. In the form of my younger sister. I look like my father. My daughter even complains if I don’t wear nail varnish as she says without colour my hands are identical to his.

One evening whilst on holiday abroad (those were the days, eh!) DH took my photo, all glammed up, I thought. Well I looked like a strange combination of both my grandmothers. My sister tells me I remind her of our dear Mum. Can't be bad, can it?

In answer to your question Avalon - the answer is thankfully no,

I don’t see my mum in the mirror but feel that I display some of the traits I remember as a child, now that I have children if my own ?

When I look at my sister I see my mother. When I look in the mirror I see my father.
