I've got my stripes on today. Every day, I drive past Heath St. in Boston. Today, I smiled.
Notice the name on the train:

:) I missed the memo about the stripes, but.............ironically when I decided what to
wear to work today, I pulled out a striped shirt! :D
HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY, HEATH!

Well my tribute today didn't go quite as planned. I've been trying to work out the timings all this week to fit in with two appointments I had this morning, but it all came unstuck when I couldn't get a taxi at the time I needed, so I had to resort to plan B.
I ended up in the Remembrance Gardens, rather than where I'd planned to go, but that was kind of fitting anyhow. Today I bought a balloon, a big 'Happy Birthday' one as I decided today should be more about celebrating Heath's life rather than mourning his passing. I attached a note to the poem though, with a picture and a poem. This was what the note had on it:
--- Quote ---His journey's just begun
Don't think of him as gone away -
His journey's just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
From the sorrow and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched...
For nothing loved is ever lost -
And he was loved so much.

Heath Ledger (4.4.1979 – 22.1.2008)
“Such rare talent, lost too soon”
For Heath, his family, friends, and Brokies everywhere.

Also attached are piccies of the Remembrance Gardens, daffodils in the Remembrance Gardens, the balloon, and me in my "Heath's birthday outfit" (I'm also wearing striped knickers today, but I'm not posting a photo of those! ;)). I didn't want to let the balloon go, so I tied it very loosely to the handle of my wheeled walker, and let the breeze tug the string free and eventually it slipped off and went floating up, and I sat there for a while and watched it float off above the town until I couldn't see it any more.
"Heath, I swear..."
