Some people have an excellent memory for faces. They can meet someone once and recognize them years later. My mom is one of these people. She never forgets a face! Even if she only meets a person for a short time, she will remember them. For example, she once met a woman at the grocery store and saw her again five years later in a different city. My mom immediately recognized her!
This skill is very useful in social situations. My mom can always greet people by name, which makes them feel special. She can also remember details about them, such as their favorite food or their job. People appreciate her because she makes them feel important.
However, sometimes it surprises people. They might not remember her, but she always remembers them! It is amazing to see how she connects with people because of her excellent memory.
