Hello,
So today a small hero of mine died. No this was not a man I knew, or ever got the chance to meet. His name was Alan Rickman and most people will probably know him as Snape, the marmite man from Harry Potter.
Snape, as a young kid growing up I could identify with so much.Not sure which road to walk down, conflicts of identity.
With Bowie gone as well so soon, my next door neighbour who passed on the 2nd of January , and my (sort-of) uncle Raymond who was taken into a hospice on Tuesday night, I will be lighting a candle to honour the memory of those I have recently lost.
Sweet dreams Snape, I hope you are finally at peace you wonderful man x
Much love,
Emma x
