I. . . .I don't even know if I could say anything. :'(

I would tell him what an inspiration he was to me, and how much I loved him and how talented he really was. I would say that I'm sorry he couldn't see his daughter grow up whom he loved so much. I would tell him save a spot for me up there. <3

I am not sure i could have either, I probably would be crying a lot!

please don't go yet. it's not time for you to leave

Easily put! I would have wanted him here longer cause just reading these are just a few lives that Heath has touched over the years. That means a lot to me and I am sure he is looking down on us feeling the same way.

I will always regret that I never wrote him that fan letter, you know?

I really wanted to tell him that I think, without A Knight's Tale, I would have gone crazy (crazier). At one point, I was watching it a couple of times a day, because it kept me from having those awful hours-long panic attacks. If I hadn't been able to get away, turn it off for a while, I don't know what might have happened. He might have saved my life. I just don't know.

I'd have to thank him for that.

I totally understand cause all the time that you put it off, you think I have another day and then when they are gone, you wish you did. Your story really touched me, for actors to know that just a movie they did touched someone so much is amazing to them and me. When someone does some kind of work like acting or singing sometimes they don't realize just how much is touches someone until something like a fan letter. I am sorry that you never got that fan letter to Heath, to let him know how much he touched your life.

Wow. I honestly don't know. If I had any sort of control over the blubbering that would have most likely spilled from my lips - I would have hopefully told knowing he existed was a constant blessing. He was/will always be a constant source of inspiration, comfort, laughter (because let's face it - Heath was hilarious when he wanted to be), and joy. I suppose I would have told him that he meant the absolute world to his devoted fans, and that the love I/we feel for him will never diminish. If anything, it will continue to grow stronger with time & absence. After all, it does make the heart grow fonder.

And I would have tried to get all of this out without allowing the crushing thoughts (mainly surrounding Matilda - him never watching her grow/her never really knowing him) to put me in a heap on the ground.

That is . . . if I was able to say any of that in the first place.

I am sure that Michelle wishes that Matilda could have seen her dad as she grew up too and I am sure that when the day comes, she will be able to tell her that her dad loved her a lot and would have loved to have been there for her if he could have. Just look at the pics of them together. It is absolutely beautiful to see Heath with her. I just love to see a guy with his kid. To see him being a dad, it touches me a lot.

I don't know if I could put a lot of what I was feeling into words cause I am just not that good at it. But I would be by his side until he took his last breath cause when people are dying, that means a lot to them.

D:

That Heath pic is one of my favorite pics, the one where she has her arms around his leg. That is so adorable and I have it up as my fave pics on my Heath post about getting to know other Heath fans here.

Oh! I should fill that out, lol.

He was such a good daddy.

Go for it! LOL

I think that everyday, I wish Matilda could have had more time with Heath!

I went & did it. (:

Ditto. Losing a parent at such a young age is such a crime. Especially a good, loving parent. It's awful.

Yay!

It can be hard, I lost my dad at 17 and that was young enough, but I know people that have lost them much younger or even didn't really know them at all cause of it. So I feel for that little girl of his.

I would say

"Your heart is the warmest place the sun could ever shine, and you give me a reason to wake up in the morning, and for that I love you. You've always meant the most; always. Thank you for being *you*."

then I would cry. alot. :(

That is probably the sweetest thing I have read. And I am sure that it would have touched him quite a bit!

Crying, definately!

I like to think I would have said that we would make sure his daughter is well looked after and to not worry and to go in peace knowing he was well loved and will be direly missed. Probably sobbing as I said all of that, but I would want his mind to be put at ease as you cannot stop death no matter how hard you try.

No, you can't stop death and to put his mind at ease would be something I would hope he would have felt passing away. I hope that he wasn't really worrying or what not when he did. I just hope that it was quick and he didn't really suffer a lot at the end. It makes me wonder everyday what he was feeling or thinking at the end.

I would say thank you.

♥

Easily put!

If I could manage to actually speak... I would tell him that he was loved; that he brought so much light into the world; that he is the reason I'm no longer lost and know what to do with my life; that he inspired so many people in so many ways; and that he will forever be loved and remembered for the absolutely incredible human being he is.

That, and a million other things I don't know how to put into words.

I don't know if I could put exactly into words what I would be thinking or feeling at the moment as I am not a person to say what I am feeling, but I would do everything to make his passing easier. Letting him know that Matilda will be well taken care of and loved. Many things like that. He has been such an inspiration to so many people because of his loving personality.

Personally speaking, having stood beside someone as they did die on a bed, I sure as hell wouldn't have been singing my praises, or telling him he was missing out on seeing his kid grow up.

I'd have told him to cut the crap out, and quit pretending to be sick or asleep. Then I would have rung an ambulance.

When you're time's up, it's up. At least he's immortalised on film. A legend forever.

I would hate to think that he would be pretending or anything, but yeah it would be hard to see someone dying like that and not being able to help them.

But yes, I am glad that he is on film forever and will not be forgotten.

I would tell him how wonderful he is and what a special person he is. And how much I miss him and love him. What a wonderful actor he was and what a wonderful person he was too.

And how much I wish I had gotten a chance to meet him.

He definately was and will be missed by us all. Wish we could have had more of a chance to say goodbye!

I would probably not be able to talk. At all.

I can definately relate. I am not sure that at the moment that I could either! LOL

i would be crying so hard :(
i would say thank you for changing my life and tell him how much i really love him and miss him.
and i'd quote a knights tale by saying "the heart hardens, like the frozen words your absence has banished me to". i think i'd just hug him and not let go.

I would tell him that this isn't fair. Not one bit.
But that he'll never be forgotten and always loved by his fans. I'd tell him his work was inspirational and often so beautiful I doubted that anyone else could even come close to his standard.
Lastly I'd say I never knew that I could ever miss someone I never knew as much as I miss him. ♥

Well what would i say to him that is a tough one. I would probably come out with something witty and amazing before really cracking down. Something like " You made a dark choice and it ended your life, you paid a steep price for your demons. But go knowing that your daughter is looked after with all the love in the world and that your legacy will go on forever with each amazing role that you took on and most importantly through your daughter. May you find peace where ever you are"

That is what i would say.
