Come on, Grandma! Tell Us Your Stories! - Sharing experiences about the past, present, and future.

So often, we don't have enough time to listen to our relatives, acquaintances, or friends. Yet they've been through so many interesting things and gained so much valuable experience..!!
That's why I'd like to create a little corner here on this big forum, where we can take the time to listen to each other's stories and memories, share ideas about what to tell our grandchildren, or talk about interesting and inexpensive games we've come up with.
I'll give it a try. Will you join me? Will you share your stories??
Come on, Grandma!! Tell us your stories!!

I have a story to tell, and it goes like this:

Once upon a time — and this is a true story! — there was a little girl. The little girl's name was Vica. She lived with her father, mother, and sibling.
She had recently started kindergarten. Vica loved going to kindergarten. She had a beautiful kindergarten teacher... so beautiful that you could look at the sun, but not at her.
One day, when little Vica came home from kindergarten, she was astonished to see a large truck standing in the yard, with strangers loading all their furniture onto it.
Terrified, she ran to her father:
"Daddy! Daddy! Why are they taking our furniture away? Don't let them!!"
That was when her father told her that they were leaving this house, leaving this town...
But even Daddy didn't know where they were going.
Vica wasn't sad for very long. She was going to ride in a truck! And then they would get off the truck and board a big train! Wow! This was going to be very exciting!!
Soon they set off in the big truck and arrived at the big train. But the traaaaain wasn't black, oh no! This train was different. There were no seats inside, but Vica didn't mind that either, because all their furniture was inside the railway wagon.
And then Mommy said:
"Well... I never thought I'd spend days travelling in a cattle wagon..."
With a loud whistle, the train began to move...
And with that, an entirely new life began — not only for little Vica, but for her whole family.
