Ten years? Man...it seems so much longer than that.

I was in my first year of school when it happened...I remember lots of adults crying for what I thought was no reason. I thought everyone was making a big deal over nothing. Why should we make her death a public spectacle when there were so many other people out there dying, my six-year-old mind thought. My grandfather died a few months before she did. Why wasn't he on TV? Why wasn't his death having such a big impact on people?

Over time, however, I learned of all of the good she did, and why it, her death, was such a public spectacle, even months after the event had taken place. It is such a shame to see someone like that go...I mean, she was using her publicity to raise awareness for things most people wouldn't have even paid attention to... *sighs*
