Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear.

Today, my heart is very, very sad.

You see, today marks the fourt death within a month of one of my biggest inspiration. Amy Winehouse died a month ago, followed by my great-aunt and my grandfather two weeks ago. Today, Jack Layton, a canadian politician and leader of the official opposition, died from his battle against cancer at the age of 61.

Awww I just found out. I really admired him. What a lovely thing to say.

He was real until the very, very end. Forever in my heart!

I'm still in disbelief

I know, me too... I'm actually going to his showing tonight in Ottawa with two friends to say goodbye and thank you, I guess. I find it quite sad that the only politician who, in my opinion, inspired young canadians enough to vote is now dead... But as he said, I will keep hoping, loving and stay optimistic in the future. :)
