Gone too soon

I'm a firm believer in living each day as if it were your last because tomorrow is not guaranteed, but how sad is the news about Heath Ledger? His autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday, so it's still unclear whether his death is a suicide or accidental overdose... time will tell. I was not a fan of Heath, in the sense that I didn't run out to watch every movie he played in, and I think I'm the only person in America who hasn't seen Brokeback Mountain. But, I do know he was a well-respected actor and he was one of very few actors who seemed to not have an ego. He was low-key, seemed grounded and he even chose to live in Brooklyn, instead of Hollywood or smack dab in the heart of New York City. Though I'm sure his family and friends are certainly mourning his death, what's really sad is that he left behind a 2-year-old daughter. It's just so sad when kids are left without a parent or parents at such an early age. Anyway, I just felt compelled to give my respects to a young talent who has definitely left the earth too soon. He seemed to have so much going for him, but you never know what's going on with a person in their private life.
