Life Is a House: Birthday Tribute to HeathI have been thinking for a long time about how to pay homage to Heath’s life and work on this most important day . . . which also happens to be the day my husband and I moved into our first house together (after living in apartment, condo, apartment) last year. Thus it’s a day I had associated with joy for

I guess today is the day to cry. So many sad, poignant pieces coming out today. This was wonderful, so touching, and yet it made me feel like i was seeing him in so many different moments of his life, recalling pictures and moments on film.

I miss him so, still haven't really gotten adjusted to this awful reality. I hate hate hate that he's gone. It's just wrong!

Thanks for writing a beautiful memorial to him. S.

I'm glad you liked it. I just am trying to deal with this bizarre hole in our world now . . . in the ways that I can. Writing seems to help us all.

I am so glad that you wrote this. It really got me thinking on Heath's short life, and it put into perspective what he had to have been going through in those 28, almost 29 years he was with us.
Thank you for this. It was very insightful. : )

I thought a lot about it too. He's exactly the same age as my younger brother, so that brought home to me how much you can accomplish in a short time. Thanks for reading.

Wow Jen, what an intriguing idea, and a wonderful one to. Very emotional....your words struck a chord, and I could see all of those sides of Heath you describe, so clearly. Thanks for sharing this....hugs to you. C x
