"Comfort Food"

Just as people have "comfort food", I have "comfort movies". One of those is "10 Things I Hate About You". I own this movie and watch it at least 1/2 dozen times a year.

One of the reasons I watch this movie over and over (really - the only reason) is Heath Ledger and his great scene where he sings "I Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You". It is my favorite scene and each time I watch the movie, I watch this scene 'bout five times.

Therefore, with heavy heart, I say goodbye to Heath Ledger. I wish him a safe passage to the other side. And my prayers are with his parents, sisters, Michelle and Matilda. People die everyday and those people touch lives. I didn't know Heath Ledger - but the reality is, celebrities do touch lives through their art.

This "accidental" death was a cry for help - no matter how the picture is painted by the media and his family. People don't accidentally mix drugs. I hope that people recognize this and look to the people they love to be sure that all their family is healthy and not suffering.

End.
