I Loved Diana!

Also, I have not expressed my deep sorrow over Diana's death online soon enough. I would have done it within hours of her death, if I could have... (I duno if U ever read the "more about Rachel" pages, off of both my celeb sites, butI mention in there that I *really* like Princess Diana... News of her death, and specially the way she died, did not sit well with me. I would have been one of those in line to sign the book of condolences in Ottawa, had I been in town. Surprising how many people felt the same way I did about her... having not known her and not caring for the 'royal' family.

I indentified with her as a woman scorn by the royal family, by her ex-[lying-cheating]-husband....

And I applaud anyone who dies those kinds of humanitarian efforts.

• Who else did U see hugging AIDS patients in the eighties, when it was still very taboo?
• Who else shook the hand of a leppre (sp?)?
• Who else held starving black babies in Africa?

Certainly not Charles! Not since Mother Teresa had I ever seen such concern for the poor and unpriviledged. I think Diana was somewhat of a saint... She didn't just pretend to care, she actually did.

And now those 2 kids have to grow up in front of the cameras w/o a mother to protect them. I think those kids are just as 'at risk' as a kid in South Central. With an incompetent parent, who knows where those kids will stray? Maybe not the 15 year old as much as the 12 year old. I can't imagine losing a mother at that age.
