- She married my grandpa at 20, he was in the Navy and would go on to become a commercial pilot for Delta. The photo of her by the fireplace was one of the officer dinners. She traveled much of the world and went to all 50 states, Canada and Mexico, did numerous caravans and national park adventures. All with rizz off the charts — she embraced the most colorful windbreakers she could find in the 80s and 90s. Her name was Glenda, I’m named after her. She really was a wonderful person. © Calliopehoop / Reddit

My grandmother lived a hard life, starting out as the unwanted result of a premarital affair. She spent the first part of her childhood in a home for unfortunate children, as her own mother was not allowed to have her in their apartment. She moved in with her grandparents and was finally able to come home when she became a teenager.
- We found this today looking through my late uncle’s photos. We’re guessing it was taken in the 1960s but could be wrong. Maybe someone could identify that camera and give me a better guess of the timeframe! © butwhyw00dy0usaythat / Reddit
- The Belden Hotel in Chicago had just opened, and I believe this was the first wedding in their ballroom. Johanna (1899-1986) and Milt (1890-1964) were married for 41 years. © earspasm / Reddit

- After the wedding, my grandfather bought land a little at a time until he had a big plot. They used to go there on weekends with my mom, aunt and uncle. At first, my grandparents had a small house there, but they finished it and added a second floor. When they retired they moved there permanently and it was heaven on earth. © vroomapunk / Reddit
