but I have to say it. And you don't know how much you lost and I'm really sorry and angry for this. And I'm really sad because I will never have the chance to tell you how amazing you are and how much you mean to me. I can't even explain how much I miss you. #HeathLedger pic.twitter.com/4q7HfQx8h7— Vale (@skylers_lht) January 22, 2019
