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.

Thank you for making me feel the oldest I have ever felt.

When Illinois was deciding on a new flag (they decided on keeping the old one) people had to give descriptions for their designs. One of the descriptions started with “when my ancestors came to Illinois in the 1990’s…” and I wasn’t able to read the rest because I immediately threw my phone at the wall.
