From Sue:
"That maybe on 22nd January, we all put our favourite pic of Heath on our posts [into the signature line], and then the forum will have plenty of pics of him throughout all the threads as a memorial to him.
I don't know if others are like me, but I will forever remember where I was and what I
was doing when I heard the news............................. :'(
I remember a young girl who came into the Heath thread, and i could nearly hear her sobs thru the computer. She was just so devastated and nothing could console her. I havent seen her since those few weeks after January 22nd, but her heartbreak still sticks in my mind.
I remember her Sue. We were all in the chat room together. Remember? She was so overwhelmed and distraught with Heath's accidental overdose.. Poor little lady. I dont even remember her name. :'(

Nikita.
As someone said, "Some of us are sad. Some of us are really really sad. And then there's Nikita."
Haven't seen her around here in awhile...

This is a wonderful idea for remembering Heath. I know exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard the terrible news. I was just crying, sobbing and I called Ashley. I could hardly get the words out of my mouth because I was crying. It was my two year anniversary of seeing Brokeback Mountain for the first time on the big screen.
My husband is so worried about me he has taken all my tablets !!!!
This will be a very long day.
Laura, the pictures in your signature line are truly beautiful! I saw that one of them is on the bettermost banner now too.
Yeah....
:(
You are here today Fabienne! I thought you wanted to stay away.. But it's more comforting here, than grieving alone, true? :-*

Yeah, I had no idea how it would go today, wondering whether I be able to read all the messages and thoughts. But actually it's going pretty well, although Heath was on my mind practically from the moment I woke up. :-\
So I guess, instead of less bettermost, I need MORE bettermost!
Plus, my youngest daughter is sick with the flu, so I'm working from home which means I get to spend a lot more time on the home computer.
We're both sitting on the couch, watching 'Beethoven'. My daughter is already feeling better (thank you aspirin!).
On days like these, I'm counting my blessings. :)
My plan for the day is The Patriot, followed by A Knight's Tale, followed by Monster's Ball (the first half only), and then Brokeback, before I take a break and go out to dinner with a friend, then I'll come back home, pop open a bottle of wine, light a candle, and listen to the BBM soundtrack as well as all of Nick Drake's CD's. For those who don't know, Nick was the English singer whom Heath worshipped, who killed himself back in the early 70's. I've never heard his music, but I'm expecting it to be quite tear-jerking. If I'm still awake enough by then, I'll do the Heath-only bits from The Dark Knight and from Lords of Dogtown to wrap up my Heath tribute. I've got my mom's hanky tucked in my pocket for the duration. Guess it's yet to be seen whether my grand plan for the day will be cathartic, or will shatter me. Hopefully the former.
I wonder what he would of thought of his Oscar nom this morning.
Love to all the Brokies hurting, remembering, crying and wishing the world was different today.
