I''ll never forget it.....I was living at home with my parents, newly divorced from a bad first marriage, and was on my way out to meet my SO for my birthday dinner.......my Mom said Diana has been in an accident and has passed away.....I was in TOTAL SHOCK. It didn''t sink in for quite a while....not until I saw the continuous news coverage of it. I cried for days and for hours during her funeral....SO was very supportive.Date: 4/13/2009 5:52:22 AM

Thank you for sharing your story. I''ll share mine. I saw it on the news, first that she had been in an accident, and then that she had died. I was by myself, and when my SO came home, I said, ''Did you hear the news?'' and I was almost hysterical, and he was looking at me like nothing was wrong, and then I said, ''She''s dead!,'' and then I let myself sink to the floor. I couldn''t stand up anymore.Date: 4/12/2009 8:53:25 AM

that must have been very hard for you. i know we all remember exactly what we were doing that day and how we found out...
Then I cried for days, without stopping. My SO and my best friend and my family didn''t really get it, but I was heartbroken.
I agree with everything you said about how we pay for all of it, and how the ''the people'' have needs (like the homeless, like you said) that should be met, but Diana cared for us. She didn''t have to. She was beautiful, she had wealth, she had position, she had privilege. It would have been easy enough for her to care about her title and everything that goes with that, but she cared about people. That''s who she was. When I think of all of the good that she could have done in all of the years she could have lived...
I''ve read on a forum where people post about royalty that the Establishment has a view that goes like this: mothers of kings are forgotten and Diana will be no exception. Those are the literal words they use. No. Diana will never be forgotten. She has entered the realm of legend, and she will live there forever.
My collection of Diana books, magazines, etc. was extensive and I decided to sell a bunch of them a few months before her passing. I thought, there will be lots more of them as she grows older so I can thin out my collection now. What a shame! Who would have thought that she would be taken so soon? My collection includes a souvenir Royal Wedding mug and Official Wedding Program that were sent to me by my English pen pal. It was awesome to receive these right after Charles and Diana were married. I''ll keep them forever.
