This page is a tribute to my hero Princess Diana. Brought on by her VERY recent death, I found it necessary to add this to my page. It is very short and quite crude, because it was made August 31, 1997-the day of her death. She was and is my hero. So here it is.

One of my earliest memories is watching Diana and Charles' wedding. I was born in 1981, so I didn't see the original telecast-I saw it a couple years later. I was fascinated with her as a little girl. My entire life was lived to mimic her. I remember beggin my mom for these silver sparkly heels (that were WAY too big!!!) at a garage sale once, because I had seen Princess Di wearing a pair similar sometime before. :c) I loved her. I decided that I was going to be a princess someday too. And have 2 beautiful little boys and live in a castle in England. I didn't know how hard her life was then. As I grew up more, my admiration for her decreased, though everytime I'd see a picture of her, I'd feel the same again. She was an extraordinary person. Then about 2 years ago, I read a biography about her by Andrew Morton and found out about all the terrible things that had happend to her in her life. Her absolutely loveless marrige to Prince Charles. The affair that Charles had continuously with Camilla Parker-Bowles for the entire time they were married. Her battle with bullimia. The mental abuse inflicted on her by Queen and Charles as well. The neverending harassment by the paperazzi. Diana endured so much, yet through her tortue, she rose like a phoenix. She was the spokeswoman for Breast Cancer, she worked nonstop for AIDS, she visited and touched lepers-destroying the myth that they cannot be touched. She treated everyone she came into contact with like an equal and friend. Her smile was enough to make everything alright with these dying people she so lovingly hugged and touched and talked to. Diana was amazing. It was very hard for me to accept her death. Afterall, the woman was my role model for so many years. She has now resumed her position as my role model and hero once again. I've never once claimed she was perfect, but she was so human, though a princess. She was almost American it seemed sometimes. Though death has taken her body, her soul and deeds will live forever. She forever impacted the world-but also forever impacted me.
