Calgaryfan2006, I added you.

I watched 10 Things tonight to remember him. It's been a while since I've seen it, so it was a nice repeat. I still flove the singing scene.

I was wondering since it's the one year anniversary of his death - How did everyone find out that he had left us?

My friend had just emailed me but I hadn't checked. The title of the email was simply "OH MY GOD". She called me just as I was checking it, and in the URL was the title "heathledgerdead" and I was like "Heath Ledger's not dead! That's a horrible joke!" And she was like "no it's true!" And I'm like "listen let me tell you how the internet spreads false rumours all the time..." and I'm about to go into a huge ramble about it and how it's in poor taste, when I went to Yahoo News (which I consider legit) and saw that indeed that it was true. I was like "ohmygod"...and proceeded to be on my computer all day checking for updates, and tuning into CNN whenever I could. I was in shock. I still am. I still can't believe he isn't here anymore.

Beautiful_Stranger Thanks for sharing, I know what you mean, I was glued to the internet to read more about it.

Thanks for adding me Jojo!

Fellow mods - Why is it that the thread title can be changed within the thread, but I haven't been able to change it on the board itself?

Jor - I'll PM you how to change the thread title

Thank you so much for adding me. I am planning on lighting a candle later for him. I miss him so much, gonna watch his movies later that I have. At Midnight last night I cried so much. Gonna be weird not seeing him in movies anymore

. Hope he knows how much we all love him and Miss him.

I can't believe it's been a year already. I still remember the day he passed and what a loss it was, what a loss it felt like. Heath was just such a talent, so to lose him so young was, if for no other reason, a loss because the opportunity to see that talent in different roles was gone. Not to mention, I appreciated him, and his thoughts and ideas about Hollywood a lot.

It's just ... yeah. Sigh.

**say something** · 01-22-2009, 08:02 PM

It really is so sad, and hard to believe it has been a year. I don't even know what to say, really.

You're welcome, sweetheart.

I remember vividly that moment. I'd had a few friends over for a girls night and after saying goodbye to them, a friend who was staying with me and I went on my laptop to check my myspace. After I had logged in, I saw all these statuses saying "R.I.P Heath Ledger". I froze for a second, couldn't believe my eyes, so I went on news sites to see what the heck was going on. And the rest of the night, my friend and I kept watching news broadcasts and checking online several times to follow the story. It was a shock and so unbelievable... it still is after one year.

Leaving a link from People Magazine about the anniversary:

Jenn - Thanks for helping me out, hun

I remember I was on the way to work with my Dad and I heard it on the radio, I just felt gutted. Completely gutted.

Beautiful_Stranger · 01-23-2009, 12:45 AM

Thanks for adding me.

Still one year on, its soo sad. My heart breaks everytime I see pictures of Matilida, especially ones of her & Heath. You can just see it in him, that little girl was his world.

Rest in Peace Heath xo

**♥SweetBettyRose♥** · 01-23-2009, 08:22 AM

And yes, I will always have a special place every year (Yesterday) in my heart for Heath. We'll miss him for ever and ever.

Jojo · 01-23-2009, 08:43 AM

Yeah, that love will never go away. His spirit lives on in Matilda.

**only dreaming** · 01-23-2009, 03:53 PM

Nicely said Jor, we are lucky to have that.

**say something** · 01-24-2009, 08:58 PM

We really are lucky that way.

Going back on this board gives me bittersweet memories. But I'd like to drop by because it's been a year since Heath left us and I'm missing him so damn much!

I remembered I was at work and people started asking me if I'm okay and they said Heath Ledger passed away. I was like 'that is not a good joke.' Maroon5 was even on the radio and I completely dismissed the thought. Then I checked my text messages and I think I got a dozen that morning... all was asking me if I'm doing okay. Then it sank in and I check the online news and it didn't hit hard. Not until I got home and saw my Heath collection and checked

again. It was a hard time... So hard.

Jojo · 01-26-2009, 07:28 AM

Glad you decided to drop by, hon

We've missed you around here!
