What I see in the mirror....

I still see me, but an older me, in fact its my Mum looking back at me.... my eyes are a mirror of the life behind me and are hoping to a long life ahead of me. I see things there that have happened in the past and I see the hope of joy to the last.

I see you glass.

i don't look.

Thanks butter

Here's and odd thing - which I wrote a rather long poem about - I used to sit at my mum's flat in the years before she died and while she talked I could see myself in her mirror - and all the time I could see myself as 25....and since she went, I can see myself as an older woman....I just couldn't do it in relation to her - weird.

My Mother - where have I gone!

I too see my mother despite having the bone structure of my father - baffling!

My dad and I'm a girl !!!!!

To my dismay its my mother!

I see my Mum too!

Oh dear is anyone seeing their dads men on here need not answer this one

I wish I could see my mother, as she was amazingly beautiful right into her 80s!

What I see in the mirror is a bit of a stranger, I'm afraid.

Depends on whether or not I'm wearing my specs. With, I'm lined with dark circles under the eyes. Without, I'm all soft-focus and not so bad, all things considered

Yes, SOOP, I've found that! And if the mirror's a bit dusty, I look even better....

Anagram ...and steamed-up can be totally flattering

NEVER look in the mirror wearing lenses. Dim the lights in the bathroom-they are all wretched halogen things put in by male bathroom designer so I leave them until they all die (and I look quite good in the dim with no lenses)and get the electrician to replace them-cue pitying looks but I no longer feel happy up a ladder with a dark bathroom and electricity at my fingertips.

I actually use a enlarging mirror sometimes - to pluck any intrusive hair on my chin- bahhh. THAT is truly scary.

I see my dad, a bit. It's the eyes, I think. DD1 says I haven't changed since I was ten years old, except for my face being a bit "looser at the seams", so to speak! I know which photograph she has in mind when she says that – one of me up a tree, standing on a branch wielding my home-made bow'n'arrow. Talking of which, DH has booked himslef, DD3 and me onto a three-evening archery course in May. Looking forward to that.

Will try and dig out a more recent photo (from about five years ago) which 'does the eyes' and post it on my profile, but I need some lunch first.

If I see my great grandma but hear my mother - who am I?

I've just looked and I don't know who it is but she doesn't look too happy!

My Mother definitely, and it is usually steamed up and without my glasses...so, a fine looking woman!?

I was always told myopia was nature's way of helping us to cope with what is in the mirror!

Goodness, gracesmum, I've always been short-sighted! What does that say about me.....

I hate looking in the mirror apart from when I am putting on my make up when I use a magnifying one. The worst thing I find is trying to pluck stray hairs in my eyebrows - I can't see the wretched things and have to resort to feeling for them.
