We're still trying to figure out who Leo looks like. In the beginning, I thought he looked like Owen, but not so much anymore. In the past few weeks, the person I have been catching glimpses of is my Granddaddy Mark.
Grandaddy would have turned 94 this month (August 5), and, while I haven't seen him since I was 19, I know he would love the socks off his two great grandsons.
I just showed this picture to Bill, and he said, "You look like him! You and Polly have his eyes." (Can you believe this picture? On a whim, I just typed Mark Wheless into Google while writing this, and it came up. He was the General Manager of the Students' Supply Store at N.C. State, and this photo is in their archives. I can't stop looking at it...)
I miss him so much. And I love getting to see him in Leo's face.
