Death and Loss.
Kay, I'll keep this short.
I was just watching a documentary on the late Heath Ledger's life. I'm sure you all know him.
Though I didn't know him personally, people have said that he was a kind, reserved, fun human being. An all around great guy. He had a passion for acting and he did what he loved in life, and did it well. I admire him for that. Then tragedy struck. He passed away.
It got me thinking... about how abruptly people in your life can disappear. People, be it your neighbour who lent you that extra cup of sugar you needed to make cookies; your friend, with whom you spent every night awake, laughing til you couldn't breathe; your parent, someone you trusted and could depend on (in some cases, I suppose). Anyone. They can just be torn away from you by some freak accident or disease as if their lives were of no importance. It just blows my mind. It's almost frustrating.
My heart aches for people who have lost someone important in their life, be it from wars in third world countries, to losing a parent to cancer. I can't imagine the grief you must have dealt with, and I mean that in the most sincerest of ways. I admire you so much for your courage and strength. I think you're all underappreciated because it's hard, and that's a given.
Maybe I'm being too emotional, if so, I apologize, but I seem get touched by the simplest of things.
I just wanted to get that out there and see what you guys thought about it.

I just saw the Dark Knight today.
Honestly, Heath was incredible and I thought the exact same thing. People get ripped away from the world so easily that it's terrifying. It's something we all dread and I hate to say it, but it happens. =/

There is still hope
Hope is what keeps us most alive i guess....
well we go somewhere when we die. either good or bad but its someplace.
Maybe one day you'll Believe and see. I'll pray for ya

I guess what sucks for people like me is that I don't believe there's a "better place" after death. :\ I wish I did, though. It would make things so much better.

Yea i know how you feel
I almost started crying while watching Dr. Dolittle 2 cause of Steve Irwin.
Yea its sad. To me especially to people i never knew cause its like i could have spent more time with them. or I could have been friends with them and so on.
But i guess sometimes it was their time to go sometimes you just have to believe it, no matter what happens. Its not how the person was in there life it is how they lived it. Then thats the hardest thing to move on about.
Also we know they are in a better place now then here and that i guess is what and how we can move on and remember the best of them. not the worst.Then one day we'll be with them and be all happy, like we once was.
*Sighs sadly*
