I'm torn between watching and avoiding all those year-end retrospects these days....

That's why, when he died, it was as if half of the world had collapsed.

Of the nice things people say about Heath, this is a recurring statement. Naturally it's partly caused by the fact that Heath was so young, but still...
Thanks for posting Bruce.

quote from Atz;
All this sensationalism and misinformation really is too bad. One thing I find kind of disheartening about this report and the family's reaction is the sense that they feel that a diagnosis of bi-polar disorder would be somehow shameful or a stigma. I mean, if Heath really wasn't bi-polar, then it's a good idea to stop the spread of false information. But, the idea that someone might be bi-polar isn't really a put down. It's an illness like any other illness and shouldn't involve judgment.
I concur with total support Amanda. Its no more or less, sensable than deriding someone for
having blue eyes.

Thank you Bruce....Terry Gilliam seems like a special guy, and very fond of Heath. Thank you again for posting this, without you and others that post articles I would not be able to read them. I'm lousy on searching the Internet....

Make that a massive thankyou from me too, Bruce.
Very hard to read Gilliams words re Heath.I wonder how long the hurt goes on for. I feels such a silly old fool at my age. Heath just touched many raw nerves, while simultaneously, starting a healing process and delivering to me the most wonderful friend, I dd not even know I was looking for, until she arrived.
His words about angels remind me of the Robbie Williams track which I so love.
