I would like to acknowledge that Helen McCrory passed today. She died from cancer. She was 52 years old.
Helen was well known for her role as Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. But she wasn't just an actress.
She was a wife.
She was a mother.
She was a daughter.
She was a friend.
She was a human being.
And an astonishing, brilliant and lovely one at that.
Anytime I would just see a picture or video of her, I couldn't help but smile. I could be having the worst day and I would see something involving her and it would just light up my life for the rest of my day.
I remember seeing her the first time. I was watching a Harry Potter movie and I saw her. She was a beautiful woman. Not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. From that day on the was my favorite actress. I couldn't explain it and I still can't. She just was.
Now I never met her. A lot of people didn't. And now we never will get to.
But that's okay. Because Helen is in a better place now.
Helen Elizabeth McCrory will never be forgotten.
I already miss you, Helen. I love you.
