It has been a week and I still find myself mourning the death of Heath Ledger. He had fifty more lives to live in his lifetime. It is tragic to see someone who was not only amazing at his craft but walked through this world with so much empathy. He will be missed.
While in New York over the weekend, I stopped by Heath Ledger's apartment on Broome Street in the SoHo area of town. A memorial was present at the front doors to the apartment. I left Tibetan Buddhist beads among the flowers, candles, notes and pictures left along the front of the street. It was a moving moment to see how much one person (that most of us hardly knew but through movies) was able to be loved by so many. It such a tragic loss for his family as it is for all the fans who have admired his independent spirit, conviction for life, and beautiful energy that hopefully continues to radiate in his films and daughter, Matilda.
