I am reacting to Heath Ledgers death a year late?

Heath Ledger has been my favorite actor for 8 years. I was devestated when he died- like it affected me personally. I am still so sad about it. everyone tells me it's not normal to be sad about the death of someone you didn't even really know, but I could tell the kind of person he was and he was such an excellent actor- I was looking forward to a few more decades of amazing performances from Heath, and several more Oscars. It's such a tragedy, I understand how you feel! I was crying when he won the oscar! I guess we'll just have to watch his movies over and over again, but I am still so sad too!
