Thank you :-). <br /><br />I absolutely agree with you that so many people don't see the world through the eyes of these monarchs - they were all doing what they believed to be right and for the good of their people. They were more altruistic than many who came after them. It was such a burden for them and I wish so often that they could have been relieved of that burden and the belief that God, whom they loved, required a sacrifice of them.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714569232976515363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190794791790101691.post-50953489268726627202010-11-15T19:42:33.043+00:002010-11-15T19:42:33.043+00:00Dear Christina,

And many people do not seem to realize what a burden it is, in fact, to be born into that position.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.com
