Category: Sadness and Loss

Another constant in my life is gone.

Queen Elizabeth II has passed.

There has never been a time in my life when she wasn’t The Queen. She was a force of nature, a constant, like the Sun rising. In some strange way, even as an American, that was a comfort.

I’m not a Royalist. I haven’t paid too much attention to British politics or the monarchy, nonetheless The Queen was always there.

I hope Angels sing her to her rest. My heart goes out to the British People and The Royal Family.

I think the world is diminished by her loss. 

Goodby Your Majesty, this American will miss you.
