Looking at old photos is such a wonderful way to bring back all the good memories from youth. Putting those old photos side-by-side with current pictures is a really amazing way to see how far you've come with the ones you love.
Youngsters might have a hard time believing that their grandparents were once young and spry, but little do they know how much life they've lived.
Grandparents weren't always grandparents. I know, I know, this seems like an obvious statement, but when you're called "Grandma" or "Grandpa" instead of by your name, even you, a grandparent, can forget those bygone days.
These 10 'then and now' photos of grandparents posted by their grandkids will make you want to find your old photo albums.
The fact that these grandchildren take pride in their grandparents' past and present is a testament to how important grandparents are to a whole family.

1.
These happy grandparents remade a photo from their very first date from back in 1945. They're still looking great 68 years later!
2.
These grandparents got married in 1953. On their 60th wedding anniversary, they gave each other the same exact passionate smooch.
3.
Who says Grandpa shouldn't get his own time to shine? Still the same dashing gentleman he was.
4.
When a bunny from decades ago isn't available, Grandma and her sister call for a stand-in.
5.
The only thing that's changed in 10 years is that their grandson has magically transformed into a handsome young man.
6.
The photo on top is actually from the very first day that these grandparents ever met. As it reads on Reddit:
"It was Easter Monday. I was on a youth club outing and pops was with his friends, who persuaded him to go to Margate because he was the only one who had passed his driving test. We were on the beach and one of his friends started throwing orange peels at us and the rest is history!"
7.
Boy, we really used to get married young, didn't we? Sixty years of marriage to the day and these two are still looking fresh-faced.
8.
I can't decide which is cuter, Grandma and her twin brother when they were toddlers, or on their 80th birthday.
9.
Fifty years of marriage has not drained one tiny ounce of fun out of these grandparents' relationship. What an insanely cute photo pairing.
10.
Seriously, I hope I age half as well as this handsome couple.
