Not just a handsome face

That is what the front of Yahoo said tonight when I logged on.
How sad. How tragic.
Of course it is always sad when someone is lost so young. The cut that it leaves on the hearts left behind seems so deep and unable to repair but over time, we do manage to heal ourselves..our hearts are broken many times throughout our lives and it always has the ability to heal itself and in time...smiles break out again.

Is it cheesy that I am talking about a celebrity death?
Some might think..
but he was human at the end of the day, he was a son, and a father to a precious little girl who now, will only know her Dad thru pictures splashed all over newspapers and magazines, she will have to hear all of the assumptions and rumors of how he really died...never knowing her Dad for who he was to her. Shes only 2 for heavens sake.

I just always find it so sad when they die so young. For whatever reason, when a person seems to be so thriving and seems to have so much future ahead of them..when they pass so early its hard to wrap your head around and accept it, the fact that life is fragile and should be carried with such tenderness and should be lived with such an amazing passion.

None of us knows our time, none of knows what will happen one day to the next. We can plan, we can talk about things, we can dream but in reality we just dont know. Suck it in everyone. Take those pictures in your mind and cleave to them..carry them with you always.

Every day I have a song in my head...today it started out with a Maroon 5 song playing out over and over in my head...then my little sister called and said, "Did you hear? Heath Ledger is dead..." Instantly...this was in my head.

The Funeral - Band of Horses

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves
they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For'e (before)
they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion
I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion
once more is called the funeral
At every occasion
I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion
one brilliant day funeral
