Rest in peace, Alan Rickman. <3 I am deeply saddened by your death and I hope that wherever you may be, that you are happy and content. You touched many lives, brought to life so many characters. The world was and still is lucky to have you.
"Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one." -Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
"And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life." -Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.” -Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
