Larry and I have been to London a few times. I always feel at home there. My Mothers family is from the UK and my fathers family is from Scotland. My 23 and Me DNA information says that I am 100% European. Maybe that is why I love Britain so much.

As England morns their wonderful queen, I too am sad. She lived such a long life and seemed like a very smart, kind woman.

When we were in London last, a friend stopped by the flat to say hello as we were on our way out to Tea. He said are you meeting the Queen for tea today? We all laughed, but that is perhaps the closest thing to being near the Queen I ever was in my lifetime.

I am always sad when a Grandmother passes away. The children left behind are always rather confused and struggle to make sense of the situation. I hope that the grandchildren of the Queen are managing well during these trying days.

Here is my favorite photo of Larry in London.

We hope to go back soon…

Love you beyond the moon.
