My nephew's dad died when he was four. Now he has so many of his dad's mannerisms, his singing voice... even the way he blinks his eyes and you can tell he's been smoking reefer! (He's 28.) <br /><br />At first blush, I was sort of taken aback, but then I remembered, it's so real, it's in my own family. WONderful write, Kymm. Hope you win the good stuff!
