Heath Ledger's final role

Sadly, Heath Ledger's untimely death has hit me far harder than Jonathan Brandais, Kurt Cobain, and River Phoenix all rolled together. He was a amazing actor from his beginnings in 10 Things I Hate About You to his Oscar nominated role in Broke Back Mountain (yes, i actually watched this movie...strange but a good movie in it's own right!)

It is so sad to see what life brings and what life can also take away. Who knows how troubled his soul was, or if he was just the victim of prescription drugs that shouldn't mix. Still the fact remains that a young star in the prime of his life and career, with a beautiful 2 year daughter is dead.

My love of my favorite movie, 10 Things I Hate About You will still continue but it will be bittersweet with the knowledge that Heath will never be in another film.

My prayers for his family and his precious daughter Matilda will be just as strong. May this sweet little girl grow up with a loving family and priceless memories of a father who obviously loved her a great deal and hopefully one day she will know the comfort of the true all loving heavenly Father.
