old family photos

[Glorious Amok]

as some of you may know, i was adopted at birth, just 8 days old. i was reunited with my biological family when i was 25. my bio-mom just sent me this picture, of my biological great-grandmother, Exalia Boisjoli (Mrs. James Miller) around 1912.

can you see any resemblance?

Beautiful woman, Glorious... yes, a resemblance indeed... an angel. Love that name, btw.

well aren't you just too kind, sir... i guess i should follow that up with a 'takes one to know one' response, it certainly applies!

and i love that name too, isn't it just something else? "pretty wood" is the english translation on the surname. and 'exalia', well i just don't know what else that could mean besides 'fabulous' perhaps...

[mtmynd]

too kind, friend... but YOU! ahhh, I still see you with those wings...

[Glorious Amok]

i'm still working on it, honest! don't give up on me yet....

your g.gram was lovely, though I cannot see the resemblance as I've no idea what you look like. LOL. Season's greetings from the land of coffee and cigarettes.
