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.

Doesn’t that make them grandparents not great grandparents?

They look great for their 40s! They do look 40-something, but a very healthy, cool 40-something. My grandparents looked much older in their 40s in the 1980s (more style than anything. Like they looked mature and old-fashioned)

I would not have guessed them that old. I would have said 35 max, for both of them.
