It was on this date that the world lost the presence of a beautiful soul, when sons lost their mother, a brother lost his sister, a mother lost her daughter – and the world took a long look at how she had been hounded throughout her time as Princess.
I was one of millions who admired the young lady who grew into a woman most men would be proud to have at their side. A woman who took on unpopular causes, a mother who would expose her boys to a reality beyond the castle gates. Her beauty and compassion grew over the years and so did her sadness. After a time it was obvious.
Today, on this anniversary of her death I remember Diana, Princess of Wales, and wonder what might have been if not for the race to evade paparazzi.
I found this montage online along with Elton John’s moving memorial song. Perhaps you also remember the day we lost the Princess of the people’s hearts.
I remember so well. We heard about the accident on the night of our oldest son’s birthday…then the next day Diana was gone. So sad.
Isn’t it so real life how the world adored a young woman who became a princess but never really lived the fairy tale.
I admired her, not for the jewels and lifestyle.. but for the woman she became in spite of how her fairy tale turned out.
