There is phrase in Haiti {tèt koupe} that literally means "cut head" - As in, you could cut off your heads and switch them - you look that much alike. There are many ways to tell someone that you think they look like their sister, mother, cousin, son ... but the quickest way is just "tet koupe".
In the first photo Troy is standing with Hope and Phoebe's First Mom and their much older sister, Bedline. In the bottom photo Hope is sharing some recent art work.
Bedline is in the Heartline Prenatal Program; expecting her little one in late October. Every week I watch the way she moves and sounds and looks and am dumbfounded by genetics.
Tèt koupe, wi?

Tara,
As you know my mom passed away when I was very young but I am often told by those who knew her how much I am like her. It's a nice feeling to hear that for me as it means that part of her lives on in me even tho she wasn't around to mould me....
Oh yes, you can definitely see the resemblance! Beautiful, all.
And the picture that Hope created is wonderful!!
Tet koupe for sure!! Beautiful artwork by Hope!
Wow, Hope can sing AND draw? She's one talented young lady! Beautiful mommies and daughters all around! Hope you get your date this weekend!
