10 Things I Miss About Heath Ledger - N0 2

This week marked the anniversary of Heath's death - hard to believe he has been gone for three years now.  I have a portrait of Heath in our living room so he is never out of mind but for the next few days you will have to excuse me while I indulge in some Heath love.

10 things I Miss About Heath....

Heath Ledger

How is it possible that it hurts more now than it did one year ago?

What The Hell Is Wrong With Me?

Please tell me there is someone, anyone, else who cried at the Logies!!!!

I'm beginning to have a suspicion that my husband is right and I am, in fact, a nutcase! It all started with Heath. I usually well up big time in the Memorandum montage, we have lost so many fine young talents over the last few years, but this year I sobbed. I couldn't stop! I think I have somehow managed to pretend that Heath did not in fact die and he is out there somewhere doing his thing.

You can't argue with a Memorandum Montage though. It's a sledgehammer to the guts. Heath is dead.

I had just started to recover and compose myself when they announced the nominees for Most Outstanding Public Affairs Report! Australian Story won for their intimate documentary based on Belinda Emmett, partly made before she lost her battle with life. And Jen sobs again.

To cap it all off the lovely Kate Ritchie deservedly won the Gold and although this was very exciting, her speech completely did me in. More sobbing and with very sore eyes I sheepishly packed myself off to bed.

I am pathetic!

Surfer Boy is correct.

Heath

Is it strange to spend the day with a knot in your stomach and a feeling of immense sadness you just can't shake over the death of a boy you never knew?
That is how I have felt today.
When I read the news on the Internet this morning that Heath Ledger had died my immediate reaction was to deny emphatically to myself that it had happened - it must be a joke, an elaborate hoax, not him... etc. Similar feelings to that of the news of Princess Diana's accident.
I even shut down the computer in some weird and feeble attempt to stop the news from being real. Then I cried, in fact sobbed, for a life only half lived and a little girl left with out her Daddy, for a family who have lost their bright boy and for me.. someone who never knew him, never breathed the same air but who followed his career from his stint on Home and Away, Sweat, Roar and on to bigger and brighter things. His photo graced the space behind my desk when I was teaching and moved to pride of place on our fridge when I left. That immensely talented, media awkward, doting father can not be gone. He just can't.

Not Another One!!

First there was Brad and Jen which I still haven't quite got over..Now it's Heath and Michelle!!

I love this couple. They just seem right to me. Obviously I'm not a very good judge as the news has just hit that it's splitsville for them. So in memorandum....

Perhaps the only silver lining is that these two may now make a match of it! Now that is one hot couple.
