I dunno, but it's great that the hairstyle of the day is like copy/paste to all of them.

My grandmother would be around that age if she were alive today, one of the most saddest things she ever told me was when we were at her son's (my uncle's) funeral a few years before she ended up passing. I leaned in and asked her if she was sad or in shock or anything because she just seemed to be carrying on as usual. She looked and just said "negroiso, your grandad and I were raised in a time when you didn't show emotion, it's not that I'm not feling it, its just that our upbringing didn't support showing things"

it was damn sad, but as other grandparents slowly passed one by one and their partners were laughing or just passive about the funeral service while I'm bawling in tears, It kind of set in that either they had already prepared for that, or it's just their way of grieving from their time period.
