Were do I start....probably stunned and in disbelief would probably be a good place. When I was first told, I didn't believe it. Impossible how could Heath Ledger be died. Being only 28 myself it was a bigger reality check then I had thought. As I continued to check the news and thought about the loss that the entertainment and artistic world had just lost it was at times overwhelming. To think that was just the first day.

Being in Australia, the death of one of our leading young talents, will no doubt be the biggest news of the year. Of course, as I was trying to forget, everywhere i turned there was another update on Heaths death, the response and the memories that many will forever hold onto. I could not help but cry about all that was and could have been.

Its interesting, I always thought of death to be something I was quite comfortable with, but I'm no longer so sure about that. I'm the same age as Heath, what would happen if i passed on right now, all those plans and dreams I have would be no more, and thinking of that is just plan scary, I want to build my life, have children, I've realized I'm just not ready to die.

Not only was Heath a talent in his acting and movies, but he was generally a good person. Like all people, he had his own problems, but he's human he's entitled to learn and experience life just like we all are. However, I've found that people just can't help to think of him as a brat of the entertainment industry, someone that had started to get an ego trip on just how good he was. Give the guy a break, he was good and not just good dame good at his job, why not let him have some excitement about the fact that he has found what he was made for. He certainly appeared ready, looking at recent interviews, and even more so with his daughter now being born. Maybe he's life's journey was for-filled, so there was no need to continue. Who knows, not anyone other then Health himself, and he probably is not sure either.

But in the end, you have to feel for his family. We the fans are not dealing so well with this, so what must his family be going through right now, and to make things even worse they have the media in there face continually trying to get a photo or start a new story on one of the hot topics for this week. It truly is sad that they can't just leave his poor family alone and let them grieve for they have just lots there 28 year old son.

Good bye, Health Ledger, thank you for all the lovely things you have brought us, my life will certainly not be the same and i look forward to those movies we have yet to see. I wish you well and hope you find happiness in your next life.
