Friends — 25 years ago and now
Barack Obama’s family in 2005 and in 2015
“15 years later, still best friends.”
“I have grown up, but my mom is still the same young lady.”
The gang grows up...
“My mom holding me 1979, my mom holding my daughter in the same dress in 2019.”
“When I get bigger, I am going to be my dad’s partner and catch bad guys and burglars.”
“Off to Pre-K with my grandmother. 19 years later, off to graduate school.”
“Bride and Maid of Honor, then and now”
“My best friend and I, 16 years ago and today. She just graduated with her Master’s, and I’m happily married with one on the way.”
“On the left is my first stuffed animal I️ received for Christmas 29 years ago. On the right, the new toy my mom gave to my son for his first Christmas.”
“My uncle and I (with my dad in the background) 20 years apart”
35 years later...
“My great-uncle and I, 24 years apart”
“My dad and I, 13 years apart”
“For my mom’s 60th birthday, my brothers, my cousin, and I recreated a photo from my first day of kindergarten.”
“I found an old pic of me playing computer games. As it turns out, I haven’t changed very much.”
Life goal achieved!
Bonus: This key I’ve worn as a necklace almost every day over the past 7 years finally wore through today.
