I wrote this two days after Heath died. It summed up my mood then, and it still does. I originally posted it on the Dave Cullen Forum.

TO HEATH

I wanted you to accept that you are one of the greats. I wanted you to be honoured as you deserve.
I wanted you to do a musical and a goofy comedy and a modern drama - yes, another one - and anything else that

Thank you. You summed up what we all wanted, but could not express so beautifully in words ourselves (at least I couldn't). He touched so many more lives than even he could possible imagine.
Love and Peace,
Robyn (Brisbane)

You summed up all the things I wanted for Heath too. In my musings in the past I have often thought about what Heath might be doing in say 20 years time. I, myself would be nearing 70 then and I know it is a weird to say this but I sometimes thought I would not be alive to appreciate all of Heath's career expecting to die well before him but happy in this knowledge like you are knowing (or at least hoping that you will die before your own children

Saving this to my HD because I love it and will read it over and over again:)

Dearest Marian,
You made my heart mend, just a little. I worried about Heath so much when he broke up with Michelle, only because he had expressed a fear of that himself, and I know what heartbreak can do to one's psyche in these circumstances.
You are a fine writer..I know you write for a living. You don't have to confirm my suspicions, cause I just know.:)
love to you,
sass

Thank you

I have been trying to figure out WHY it hurts so much to think about this young man, gone forever. I am a little different (I think) from many here--I came to appreciate Heath as much as I do only recently--a gradual realizationof his skills, his range, his long-limbed grace and beauty. I'd been thinking about a BBM story -- I've always been a reader, never a writer (here at least), which focused on the two men through-out longer lives then they were granted in the literary world. For some reason Ennis (and I suppose Heath) were foremost in my mind...especially health issues (in the story, and I guess, subconciously about Heath). I didn't follow the gossips about break-ups or hookups, except that the few pictures I saw of Heath he looked first looked thinner (and better) then he had with Michelle...then he looked tired and stressed and wired (especially one at a fashion show in NYC

The loss and pain still goes on. You have said it all so well. Thank you. And you know, as well as anyone, he will remain in our thoughts and hearts for a very, very long time.
