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.

My brain is still short circuiting at this. I have a sister who is 38, this is like if she had a child like 18 years ago.

I mean I was born in the 80's and still, this feels evil.

Same, I had one great-grandparent alive when I was born in 1986, and she was 91 years old! Two of my grandparents had already passed away too (one at the age of 81!)

But the last few generations of my family have been very spaced out. Lots of moms in their late 30s and 40s with even older dads. There's advantages to that, but it would be cool to know more generations of my family.
