"I am just hoping Mrs Thatcher is well enough to see me as I so admire her."

Oh, I'd love for them to meet!

I'm afraid Baroness Thatcher has Alzheimer's Disease and is pretty far gone with dementia. Her daughter has written on the subject. Lady Thatcher missed Prince William's wedding and has largely disappeared from public view, which suggests her condition isn't good. There's a danger that any meeting Sarah Palin has with her will be portrayed in the media as a crass, exploitative publicity stunt. There's powerful symbolism in a meeting between the two, but it might be better to give it a miss.
