RIP Professor Snape

Certain celebrity deaths get to us.  When I found out about Michael Jackson- I remember that sticking with me.  I was a little young to remember the depth of Princess Diana, but I do remember thinking how tragic it was. Heath Ledger dying was a shock as well.  I remember being at work seeing it on the tv, and being in denial of it.  I am finding myself in a similar place today.

David Bowie died earlier this week, and that was tragic.  I never got into his music in any sort of depth, but I did listen to and appreciate his music.  I'll always remember him as the goblin king in Labyrinth.  That movie was great, and he made it better.  

But then came the news this morning- Alan Rickman died.  I am so heartbroken.  He played a character in one of my favorite series- Harry Potter.  He was Professor Snape.  All the quotes and pictures going around of him are making me so sad.  I knew Alan Rickman from a young age as Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility.  He was always a proper British man, and from everything I could tell, a sweet man with a great sense of humor.  

RIP Alan Rickman.  Your death will leave a hole in this earth.
