Some photographs capture a moment, while others become a little time machine when someone puts the old version next to the new one. A couple recreating their first date decades later, partners showing how their family has grown, or two people finding their way back to each other after years apart can make a simple side by side picture surprisingly moving. The faces change, hairstyles come and go, and life leaves its marks, but familiar smiles often remain. These photos, shared by people online, offer small glimpses into relationships and lives that have kept going through all those passing years.
