The last member of my parent's generation died today in the UK. Most of them lived well into their 90s. They were strong, pragamtic, fierce. They survived WWII, rationing, bombing, some of them fought in Europe. They didn't like Nazis.
If their legacy for me is to be as strong as them in their resolve and survival, I will accept that.
