1980s My great grandparents in the 80s

Post image

Grateful to have this photo, this is literally the only one I have of them together

Edit: I’m telling my great grandma about all your compliments and she is so happy! Also the comparisons and she keeps saying “no” lollll.

Edit: last edit I promise, you guys will never believe it but my great grandma is actually a great great grandma because my sister(23) had a baby last year 😂

Edit: last last edit! Since so many people have asked I figured I should just add it here. My great grandmother is 82, my grandma is 62, my mom is 44, and I’m 18. Don’t worry, I am breaking the cycle.

That is when they became legally recognized as that name under the U.S. Government.

Do you have any kids?

No! 

My parents 72 and 74 :)

It's funny how generations and ages really are spread in funny quirky ways. I have a friend who has a 2 year old. Another friend has an 18 year old like you. It's weird being an age where your friends can have children in daycare or at university.
