But remember when Ennis found the shirts.....Jack was gone, but the message and meaning of the shirts was still there.
As with the Oscar....Heath is gone, but the message and legacy of his great achievments is still there.

What an amazing correlation, his legacy is still here. Well said.

For his beloved Matilda it is going to be the solid proof, that his work was at least as wonderful as any other person in his profession.
He was so beloved himself, that he got the award after his death. An achievement that only one other person ever............has
gotten. She can be honestly proud and look back at his life, when she can no longer remember him. It will be something solid,
and real, to hold onto and be proud of.
He loved his part and was so proud of it in "The Joker" I don't see why there is this constant haranging, it was not as good as Ennis, or
the movie was not as worthy, or he should have won for Brokeback Mountain. He himself said (paraphrasing) "I do not live in the past. I live in the now. I don't look forward or back much. I just do what is going on now." I think it is disrespectful for us to be belittling his last
performance, by forever looking back and complaining about his not getting it last time.
Yes he deserved it for Ennis, yes he got cheated out of it by a monkey act, of an immitation, but it is over... Just rejoice over this
win. It is still going to the same person.

I'm really not sure what I can say here that hasn't already been said, except that this was one of the first things I thought of when I got up this morning.
I guess I've been thinking about Michelle and Matilda the most during the past few days. Can anybody believe that Heath's daughter is 4 years old already? Not in the habit of posting pictures of them but here's a recent one.
That was taken in October. Michelle was quoted as saying that “She can know her dad in so many ways, and so many of his friends who will be able to tell her so many stories. His friends, his family — they were a big part of his life, and they will be a big part of her life.” Amazing how much she looks like both of them -- Heath in coloring and features; Michelle in her smile and facial expressions.
