[Miss Marple]

This day makes me determined to write my history of these years, so that my grandchildren and their descendents will know the truth about what has transpired.

Good for you. That's more than likely the only source they will have, and coming from you, they'll know that is authentic.

My older grandchildren already are asking me about current events and how it was "when you were young, grandma". If we don't impart what we know to be true because we lived it, then they will be prey for any propaganda thrown their way. I don't want my progeny to grow up to be ignorant dunderheads, and neither do you.
