RIP Heath Ledger

It's so strange to read about the death of Heath Ledger. I guess maybe because I've never read or seen anything negative about him. Weirder still is the drug issue. He was just not the type of person that one would think was dabbling in drugs. Then again, who IS the type? Even as I am writing this, I've got a lump in my throat and tears are stinging my eyes at the loss of such a young life. What a waste, and what a sad way to go...

Following his split from Michelle Williams last year, I expected some sort of negative publicity around the custody of their daughter. So far, nothing. Not even that he was depressed or emotional about the split. All of a sudden, to read that he is dead is a huge shock!!! I've just been told about Brad Renfro as well, and as sad as I feel for his family, it was almost obvious he would some day harm himself beyond repair. Heath Ledger on the other hand...? Either the guy has a great publicist or this is a huge set up, a homicide disguised as a suicide.

His death brings back memories of other people we have loved and bade farewell in the past couple of months. All so young, departed for various reasons. This is a shout out to all of you -gone too soon, but never to be forgotten.....
