Thank you for reposting these memories.
“Our predecessors coped so brilliantly during the war (which cannot even be compared to the Coronavirus threat), today’s issues really do pale into insignificance.” The Second World War ended before I was born, but I lived through most of the Cold War. In particular I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, which could easily have escalated into a nuclear war.
We’re going through a rough patch in 2020, but you’re right, we need to keep a sense of proportion.

Your Granny’s words were definitely worth saving. She sounds like an amazing lady and a very sad loss for your family. X
