Princess Di Died

Princess Di Died
Beach Haven, NJ
Summer 1997

I am visiting my parents on a Friday night.  My mother, who has cancer, is glued to the television, watching and listening to every detail of the dreadful car accident.  Finally, around midnight, we go to bed. We are both so sad and worried.

The next morning, she knocks on my bedroom door.  She wakes me up to tell me, “Princess Di died. She didn’t make it.” Her voice is filled with sadness. Her body is emaciated from her own losing battle with cancer.

“Can you believe it,” she continues, “I’ve outlived Linda McCartney and now Princess Di.  Who would have thought it.”?
