Good, though. When Princess Diana was killed, I could not understand why I was so affected by it, but I was not alone! Half the nation went into a mass hysteria of grief.

Maybe it's because I grew up with him and his music, or maybe it was the shock of it since no one knew he was ill. Or maybe it was because he died of cancer, which huts close to home since I almost lost my husband to cancer a few years ago. Whatever the reason, it's been a sad couple of days for me. And I can hardly stand to watch Lazarus or listen to it when he was so clearly singing about his impending death. It just tears me up inside.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-40448297362435150422016-01-12T16:50:21.662-08:002016-01-12T16:50:21.662-08:00Tom, I'll not try to be clever, but as a Denni...Tom, I'll not try to be clever, but as a Dennis Potter fan, do wish to thank you for this post.
