"He Was a Friend of Mine": a Heath Ledger Tribute

[Theblacksheepani]

It was just too early for him to go...

[WildHoneyPie18]

You should change the title of the video to "HEATH was a friend of mine" ;)

great job with this btw, I love this song

[Peekaboo17Joker]

My friend Jason died a few days ago on October 18th. They say it was suicide! I can't believe this is happening again! I am so depressed but death can't ever take my friend away from me forever! We will meet again someday I know.His soul lives on and that is someting that will NEVER die!

[Peekaboo17Joker]

This song I dedicate to a friend who died last night/early morning sometime and "he was a friend of mine!" Rest in Peace my friend! I will miss you so much!

[Midsummernina]

I am SO sorry to hear about that. My heart goes out to you!

[Peekaboo17Joker]

"Every time I hear his name Lord, I just can't keep from cryin'" This song is so true to how I feel,It made me cry alright.Love ya Heath! You have a great heart and a great soul,and that is something that will NEVER die!Rest in peace,we love you!!

[Midsummernina]

That's exactly how I feel about this song and why I chose it for my video. Thank you so much for your lovely words.

[fightersh]

Oye amigo, no sé qué decir... las lágrimas se me caen a mares.. fue tan triste tu partida así como lo fueron tus sueños.

Qué Dios esté contigo y que sigas brillando allá en el cielo como lo hiciste aquí en la tierra.

God will bless you Heath.

[Midsummernina]

Gracias con todo mi corazón por sus bellas palabras. (I used Google translation - so I hope you can understand what I wrote)

[lillylee89]

i still don't understand what really happened ... was it suicide or an accident? Does anybody know at all? It is so sad, although i didn't know him i feel sorry ... he was a great actor! R.I.P. Heath!

[Midsummernina]

Everyone close to him that has commented on this, considers it to be an accident. He was in bad physical shape from filming in London, catching a nasty cold, and he'd gone through some rough times personally. But all of his co-workers from TDK and Parnassus are adamant in stating that it must have been an accident, that he was in no way in such a shape that it could have been anything other than an accident. It's heartbreaking and totally incomprehensible but I believe that to be the truth.

[fightersh]

This song is so sad and it's much more with this great person who taught us Love is eveything.

God will bless you Heath.

[Midsummernina]

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Thank you!

[quizzabella]

Lovely video - Heath seemed such a sweet soul, it's so sad that he's gone.

[Midsummernina]

Thank you! And I agree: a sweet old soul... :´(

[Rachulie]

man, sad for the people who actually knew him. sad .

[Midsummernina]

Yeah... My heart breaks every time I think about them. Especially his closest family members, of course, but also his friends and co-wokers. By every account he was an exceptionally devoted and loyal friend, who had the rare ability to make everyone he befriended feel like the most important person in the world... Those people are in my thoughts a lot! There are a lot of those statements out there - believe me! Even in the gossip/tabloid media that otherwise are so keen on thrashing him!

[BehondTheSunset]

Beautiful, I miss him so much. I still can't believe it. Thank you !

[Midsummernina]

Me too! I don't think I will ever fully believe it...:´(

Thanks for your kind words...

[robinatusa]

[robinatusa]

Thanks! :-)

[frickchick5]

Beautiful video!

RIP Heath!

[Midsummernina]

Thank you!

[ItalianGerm]

What a great way to honor this sweet prince. Happy 29th Birthday Sweet-Boy.

[Midsummernina]

Thank you so much!

And I haven't written that here yet - have been busy on a Heath fansite honouring him today:

But Happy Birthday, dearest, sweetest, kindest boy! Miss you more than ever!

[ItalianGerm]

Midsummernina,

I'm glad to hear you're screening out the trolls. This sweet kid deserves rememberance, not judgement. Thanks Heath for your beautiful work!!! You'll not be forgotten.

[Midsummernina]

So glad you're with me on this subject!

And I couldn't agree with you more: He _does_ deserve remembrance - not judgement. Listen to what the people that knew him says: He was a truly great person!

BTW: So sorry for being so slow on approving. These last 48 hrs have been really tough..,

[starberry79]

I just saw BBM this morning. When I heard this song over the credits I thought, wow, nobody ever knew just how.....accurate that song would be just 2 years later. Also, he would have been 29 today. Good song choice and pictures; some of them I haven't seen much on other people's videos. Made me cry but that's part of the process.

[Midsummernina]

It's such a lovely song - and from everything I read he really was a great and faithful friend!

Thanks for your kind words!

[ivanangelov1]

We will always love u! You are the greatest! RIP

[Midsummernina]

Can't agree more!

[Midsummernina]

In case anyone wonders: Yes it's a very deliberate choice I made when I decided that no comments would be connected to this video unless I approved them. I have seen too many mean comments, too much filthy rumours and I'm not gonna have any of that connected to a video I put my heart into. I want this to be a pure celebration of a great person and a unique spirit.

Want to join in that celebration: please post and I will approve it asap!

All my best!

Midsummernina

[tori093]

[Midsummernina]

Hi Wendy!

Thanks a lot!!

[EirianLP13]

Great vid, lovely pics, thanks a bunch for sharing.

Sweet, talented, adorable Heath... We all miss you :(...

This song is beautiful, one of my favorites from the soundtrack actually... It especially reminds me of Heath's close friendship with Jake...

God bless Heath, his family and friends.

[Midsummernina]

Thank YOU!

And I couldn't agree more...

[Midsummernina]

Thank's so much!!

[SutherlandChaos]

This was amazing.

[0cblondie244]

where is he at lik 2:00 to 2:21

[Midsummernina]

I'm not sure - I found those pics shortly before I finished the video, and really liked them. Can't remember where though. I'll try and find out...

[Midsummernina]

Those pics are from the Jay Leno show, I've been told. Still don't know when it aired, though...

[gillianivy]

*smile*

Thanks for sharing. You put a lot of effort and work into this. He is missed, by those who didn't know him. I cannot imagine the pain of those who did.

[Midsummernina]

Thanks for those kind words! He didn't deserve anything less...

I can't imagine it either... /N
