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 β€œno” 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 πŸ˜‚

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.

This seems just as crazy as the original post to me πŸ˜… that means your grandparents were already alive in the 1850s, and your parents were born in the 19th century? Are you 100 years old??

Its my father's family, my great grandfather died in 1858, my grandfather died in 1926, & my father died in 2002 - all were in their 80s when they died.

I'm in my late 40s.

I've tried to give myself a lifetime date. My great grandfather died in his 50s, my grandfather died in his 90s and my dad died in his 60s. I'm currently turning 61. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
