I was in VA for the weekend attending my sister-in-law's wedding. (How odd is that Jill, that I was in NOVA?) I remember getting back to our room at the B&B we were staying at and seeing it on TV. I know many people were devistated by her death and the thoughts of her potential achievements unfulfilled, and many who were in awe of her remain frozen by her death. I don't really think of it like that though. I look at her death and how life continues to go on. Her children have grown into handsome men on the brink of discovering their own greatness. My sister-in-law is long since divorced. And while she probably would have achieved so much more if she had lived, Diana left enough of a legacy to touch many and make a positive impact on the world. Leave little bits of your own legacy all along the way. Don't save it all up to the end to make your mark on the world.
