Aloma and I, along with several billion people, watched the funeral of Queen Elizabeth. We were amazed at the hundreds of thousands of people on the streets to see her casket moving by. It was a beautiful event and orchestrated to perfection. And we loved the tradition. And we loved watching it together.
Obviously, Queen Elizabeth was loved and respected all over the world.
We enjoyed seeing the royal family, especially the children. Aloma has always enjoyed following the Queen and the royal family.
Now, to be honest, I have trouble with people acquiring an important position by their birth. I’ve always believed that all people should be given an opportunity for any position and should work to reach it.
I also commented to Aloma that there was an issue with inclusion. Most people at the funeral and burial were old, white men, like myself. There were few minorities present.
When I continued my remarks during the funeral, Aloma finally said, “BE QUIET.”
