Why do I feel I have to be just like a dead family member.?

[skas99]

I look exactly like my grandma's brother. I don't look like anybody else but him. He was born in the 40's and has been dead since 1973. He was killed that year in mexico which is where my family is from. The wierd thing is that people always tell me how weird it is for me to look like him and not like my dad or any of his brothers or anyone else. Because of that reason I always feel I have to be like him. He died before I was born but my family has told me everything about him from the way he dressed down to what he liked to do on a regular basis. I now dress like I was told he dressed as well as taken up boxing like he did. Some people tell me that when someone dies they are not ready to leave this world so they stay but in a different form or person. Is this whole thing just wierd or is his spirit in me?
