Seeing Old Friends For The First Time In 40 Years

[fmdog44]

WOW! How we change. Some friends in a town I lived in 40 years ago sent me some pics and from age 30 to 70 we definitely change. Some I had to blow up to a larger size to recognize and even then it took a while. Then I received a group pic how we looked 40 years ago. A couple people I recognized right away but others it took some work. Oh well, not much we can do is there

Nope not much we can do...we all age , and some change due to simple passing years..others due to illness or a stressful life...

Just be glad you're all still alive!!

Good advice, HD...none of us look the same as we did back then. Funny, how we have these images stuck in our minds.

I agree. I still think of myself as young and often surprise myself when I look in the mirror.
For some reason I don’t feel like an older person. Lol But then again, I don’t act like an older person either

Same here keesha.. I've never thought of myself as looking like my mother although I knew I didn't look like my father, but lately I'm catching glimpses of my mother when I psss the mirror, it's obvious. the strange part is that my mother died at 39 years old.. and I'm now over 60.. so either I look young for my age or my mum look older... I think it was the latter, she had a hard life!!!

I think most of us look younger in our mind's eye. The last time I went to a class reunion I thought everyone looked old except me. :lol:
