Today is a sad day

After several days of Sundancing and not many minutes of sleep I escaped for a couple of hours my last snowy day in Park City and went up to The Luxury Lounge where I got a detoxifying back massage and Kat and Carol Lynn gave me a new age and very relaxing facial. That, and the peppermint aromatherapy they gave me after, gave me what coffee couldn't and temporarily revived me. I was feeling good for about a minute, until I checked my blackberry and saw more than two dozen messages saying that Heath Ledger died. My heart fell to my stomach and my glow went out the window.
- Heath Ledger Died With Stephen Gaghan's Script in His Bed: 'I Literally Collapsed,' Director Recalls of Hearing the News
- Heath Ledger's Daughter Matilda Is Taking a Year Off Before College to Spend Time With Late Father's Family in Australia
- Matilda Ledger Is The Spitting Image Of Her Late Father, Heath Ledger: Inside The 17-Year-Old's Life After Dad's Tragic Death
It's just so sad, so unexpected, so unnecessary.
I'm not going to guess or speculate on why or how he died because I don't know, but I'm sad for his baby Matilda who will only see how he lived through the many great movies he left behind.
Rest in peace...
