oh yes, I use to see what books she had on her shelf and then go out and buy them. The first yr together I wanted to even copy her shoes, well ok not shoes but sandles LOL!...I just wanted to merge with her so much...since then I've learnt to slowly emerge from her and find that as much as I want to be "her" become one, I am me and thats a fact that can't be changed, sigh, but I know on the other hand thats the healthest way to be...but its been like a being born again thing...you know kinda off me_not_you_ thing that young children go through if their parents are doing a good enought job..I've found that as I parent my kids though, I feel as if I have internalised enought of T's loving care that I feel I am parenting me also through them and via T...if that makes sense? at the end of the day we will only pick up and internalise that which corresponds with who_we_are anyways...
