To my dying breath, I will feel great joy I lived during the time of the Iron Lady and the Gipper. Two people with class and a love of their countries.
I also feel shame that I am living in a time of traitors who commit treason with their every waking moment.
The FREE world will miss her dearly. From the Socialists on down, not so much.
My thoughts, exactly. Sometimes I'm so glad that I am the age I am. I was in my 30's during the 80's. Thankfully, old enough and mature enough to appreciate what was happening around me. Rest in peace Mrs. Thatcher. Rest in peace.
It was an incredible experience. They changed our world for the better, and I was a witness, as was my oldest child, now an adult, for which I am very grateful. On the personal level, I got to see Ronnie and Nancy close up at a Washington gala to which I was a production associate and they were just incredibly elegant; I walked several miles and stood for hours to be at a huge, gigantic outdoor gathering for Pope John Paul II even though I'm not Roman Catholic; and only wish I had the opportunity to meet that other architect of the survival of the West, Baroness Thatcher. Even then, I didn't quite realize how profoundly historic it was until around the time Reagan died. Then my son and I stood in line in the hot summer for around 6 hours to get into the Capitol Rotunda and pay our respects to his remains lying in state there.
I'm off now to check the London online newspapers. For me, even the Jubilee is likely to be eclipsed by this.
