Gone Too Soon



Australian actor Heath Ledger died on Tuesday in his apartment in New York at 28. That is just so sad. A young actor on his way to total stardom, one who you knew had longevity in his industry and had potential to be everything he wanted to be and much more. He was a father of a 2-year-old little girl Matilda, a young man who was loved by his family, peers and friends, someone who had smiling eyes and embraced life.

Sweet stories of his kindness and down-to-earthness surface. When you hear similar stories again and again about what a good heart he had, you have to wonder why someone like that would be taken from this earth when he had so much to give and so much to live for. Was he a tortured soul? Was he a candle burning on both ends? Did he deserve to die so young?

Rest in Peace, Heath Ledger...
