I imagine if she could have, she would have rather been some moderately well off country gentry than a queen, but God had other plans. For someone who was not born to be queen and only ruled by accident of history, she did a good job as far as anyone can tell. Any parent should know better than to criticize her for the actions of her children. Many of us have done far worse with far fewer challenges. In any case, good or bad, she is gone on to her reward now.

I like this post. I will add she's hunted the tiger..


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
