It's Time to Bury Diana

Princess Diana died 10 years ago today. It is time to bury her. Oh, yes, she has been interred, but she is very much alive in the minds of many. I certainly feel for her loved ones and close friends who will always remember her, but there are many to whom she was no more than a celebrity, someone they knew only vicariously. It is to those who had no close attachment that I address.

Princess Di is dead. There is no bringing her back. Let's get on with life. What is it with this obsession, anyway? What purpose does it serve to keep dragging her out of the grave on every anniversary. The same would go for others, like Elvis Presley.

Don't you have more important things to do with your life? Maybe you just need to "get a life." Your interest in the late princess is morbid. Life is for living, not for mourning. The young princes may want to keep her memory alive. I would like it to go away.
