Yes! Just about midnight here too on the East Coast USA...happy birthday Empress! Sometimes I get so frustrated with you and your complex legacy, but a couple of things are always clear. You were a brave, proud and completely dedicated woman who would have given anything, including her life, for her adopted country. You also gave birth and raised five astonishingly beautiful children and for that alone I salute you!
May there be a mauve room in heaven for you to bask in glory with family and friends for an eternity...god bless!
