Hey everybody,
this is not a chapter. It's a post about Alan Rickman.
Our beloved actor passed away this morning due to cancer, which he secretly battled.
Alan Rickman was, and still is, one of the most gigantic performers. Not only played he in various films, but was loved by his theatre performances.
Alan has been a huge part of my childhood, which died with him. My all time favourite actor and a good human being.
I can't put in words how devastated and sad I am to hear this news.
Still, let us remember that while we loved an awesome actor, his family lost a loved one.
It pains me to know, that he has been in pain, that he had to fight life's cruel clutches, that he had to die this age. I'm just glad that he was surrounded by his loved ones!
My thoughts are with Alan and his family!
Hopefully you will rest in peace, without any pain. I wish you, that you could look back at your life and let go with a smile, Alan.
And because I can't put anything of what I am feeling into words, I'm only going to say:
THANK YOU, ALAN! You'll always be in our hearts!
Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.
When I am dead my dearest
Sing no sad songs for me
Plant thou no roses at my head
Nor shady cypress tree
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet
And if thou wilt remember
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not fear the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on as if in pain;
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
