Your mother's legacy is so much more than her genetics. It is there every day from what you choose to read, where you choose to worship, how you celebrate, what you like to eat. Those things will be passed on to your child.
My parents, blessedly are still with us, but I see my departed grandmother in the way my daughter juts out her chin when she's thinking (good Lord, does that mean I do it too?). She may never look like my ancestors, but I hope she will be as generous of spirit, brave and independent as they were.
