this was a great read
Fuck. I wanna meet this old man and hear stories about his life
Wow, able to retire at 61. I won’t need a legacy format recording of my retirement when I’m 86; it will likely still be fresh in my memory.

It’s almost unfathomable to me to live 25+ years *after* retirement. I hope we can all be so fortunate.
Protect gramps at all costs guys!
Old school real with class.
I notice that it’s the old timers that show a lot of appreciation. Maybe they just have a other of time but still.
Great read but every time I read stuff like this, especially on reddit, I always think it is made up just to get karma or some crap. Annoying having to have to question everything you come across nowadays. Doesn’t help that it is a new reddit account with already a lot of karma.
Whats that water running from my eyes and why does it taste salty?
This is so beautiful. I want more of this in the world.
I love things like this. We’ve built so many walls between each other and many have become so isolated and desensitized, and yet, a simple letter reached out through those barriers and touched us.

Dude send him porn and really show him what that thing can do
crying rn
His gratitude is very endearing. Glad he got to relive those memories
I like “feel good” reddit, bravo op
VHS cameras became a thing in the mid 1980s. So an 86 year old in 2019 would have been in his fifties at such a wedding.
An obvious fake written by someone that never played a VHS tape. They would call it a VCR not a VHS player.
Adorable but why r/interestingasfuck ?
I think I have something in my eye…
What a pleasant old man. Love this 🫀
👏👏👏👏
I like he says when we were younger at 61. Legend
Wow.
Dope does he have the Terminator on VHS? 🤷🏿💯
This made me feel so happy for the old man, I’m not even at a quarter of his age but looking at pics from my childhood makes me so nostalgic, can’t imagine his nostalgia here
