We never are Trish. I think we go through life seeing ourselves as being younger, at least until I look in the mirror or see a photo of myself.
My oldest grandchild (29) took a photo of me holding our newest granddaughter from our DS and DIL (7 mo.) and our second daughter (mother to the one taking the photo) holding her granddaughter (5 mo). All of a sudden the oldest DGD started laughing. Here were these two amazing babies (second cousins) almost the same age, in a photo with their grandmothers.
Live is full of surprises.
