To the Ledgers,
I can't tell you how much it breaks my heart to think about how such an incredible actor and person is gone in the blink of an eye. I can only imagine the pain and grief you are going through. Since I heard the news, there honestly has not been a day that goes by that I haven't thought about him. The first time I saw 10 Things I Hate About You I just knew he was going to keep growing and growing to become one of the most amazing actors of our time, which I believe he was. He truly was an angel and I would do anything for him to be here again. I know I didn't know him so this whole letter probably doesn't mean much..but he really was an inspiration to me, and will forever remain my favorite actor in the entire world.
He was a huge inspiration to so many people. I just go on Youtube and type in Heath Ledger and so many tribute videos come up, and just to see the comments everyone leaves makes me want to cry because so many people cared for him and looked up to him. You don't even have to know him personally to just become overjoyed by his incredible smile and humor every time you seen him on a tv screen, or picture. Watching his movies makes you feel like you know him. I don't think I've ever seen an actor like that. He's one of those actors where you want him to be in every single scene, you don't want it to end. Seeing his performance in
The Dark Knight was honestly the most amazing acting I have EVER seen. He got into his part more than anyone I have ever seen in my life. It was truly phenomenal, and that word can't even describe it. I can't find a word to.
I know you guys must have been so proud of him. He touched many peoples lives with his own. It may have been cut short, but he inspired more people in those 28 years of his life than I probably will in my entire life, or probably anyone's life. He was an incredible person.
To Matilda,
I am so sorry you will never see your Daddy grow up with you, but he will always be in your heart and soul. He will still be there for you whenever you need him, no matter the situation.
If there is anything I can do for you guys, please please let me know. He is in a better place now. God bless you guys.
