I think she's an extension of everyone's life she comes into contact with...

A good way to answer this is to consider the question, am I an extension of my parent's life?
In my case, I find that there are ways in which I am very different from my parents. I've looked at their lives and paid attention to the areas I did not want to duplicate. Even in their errors, I've learnt about life. In this way I am an extension of their lives, taking another path.
When my mother died last year, all of her good qualities became crystal clear. I realized what things she thought were beautiful, what things she cared about, the bravery she showed in just living from day to day, the sometimes silent love she displayed, and her wisdom that far outdistanced her occupation. In her death I realize that I carry a lot of her heart inside of mine. So even in her goodness, I've learned about life. In this way I am an extension of her life, taking the same path.
Now I look at my children and I see me in them and I see another person in them. I see my spirit living on, my deeds living on, my words living on. I see a great new spirit, a fresh spirit in my children, adding to what I have already accomplished. So, yes my offspring are an extension of my life and the newness of life here, and yet to come. Your family is like time - past, present, and future always connected.

not necessarily. They are unique individuals having their own free will.
The acquired knowledge and values may be an extension but still, that is even dependent on their free-will how they may want to apply them. We try to control them to be like who we were or are, but it doesn't always work out good this way.
They are extension, genetically in science but their soul in their pineal gland is uniquely one

Yes, i think so, but it also extends your family. But i think, you having a child doesnt make it longet than it already is. I think that youre just giving out life, and experiences.

Neither. My children belong to me for the time it takes to get them grown, but they always belong to themselves. They are not me...they are of me...nor are they anyone else. I see in them some of my traits, some of their fathers, or other family members...but, they are themselves. Each one different, yet alike...each one with their own special voice.

No. They are grown men, and have their own lives....which are far more interesting than mine is.
That's why they leave the nest--because you have taught them to fly!

No,
The creation of their own life.

No. She has her own life, her own experiences.

Their life is their own, not mine, not anybody's.
