I made sure she was sitting down when I told her Heath Ledger died and was only 28.
She didn’t want to talk about it but then again everything is overly dramatic these days. That is easily explained because Mini Red will be 13 next week. Soon this blog will be called Life of White since that will be the color of my hair soon enough.
Anyhow, I told Mini Red she can’t avoid this death of Heath Ledger thing. I’m not going to have her hide from this and especially since it is most likely a suicide.
I pointed out how selfish it was of him. He works hard to be a success and work his way into our hearts. Then he goes and takes it from us. He didn’t have the right to take his life. On top of that I can’t help but think of his poor little girl.
Mini Red is so cute. She then says to me, “Well at least I have 10 Things I Hate About You on my iPod“.
It’s a sad thing and he will be missed. At least the news will have something about this for the next month or so.
Addendum:
You know this means two more deaths since everything happens in threes. Some say Britney Spears obituary has already been written.
