Is it normal to be intrigued by this?

I've been in love with someone for years. I got to know him when he was thirty, so I've never known what he was like when he was young, what he looked like etc. I also couldn't know; I was born when he was 17. I've only seen 2 pictures when he was around 9 years old. Those pictures didn't really intrigue me that much. But now that I have seen this baby picture of him I felt very intrigued by it. I have no clue why. Sometimes it kind of feels like I missed out on his childhood, like I should have known him then, that we should have been the same age maybe? I don't know what it is. Is it normal to feel this way? Or at least understandable? Maybe someone could help me to find an answer to my question...

    It's part of wanting to know somebody completely. Their childhood experiences have a great impact upon who they are. It's normal to be curious about the formative years of somebody you love :)

    Yeah this is underdtandable, I wished the same thing when I was with my ex.
    I actually felt jealous of the family because they got to know what my exs childhood was like and I felt I should have known her and helped her. Completely normal though.

    I feel the exact same way with a guy who is 29 years older than me :P Just makes me wish we were the same age and would've been best friends for years!

    Kind of creepy, but kind of understandable i guess.
