Heath Ledger’s sister says she used to “cry every time” she saw his daughter Matilda
Even though it’s been nine years, we still can’t quite believe Heath Ledger is gone. But in an interview with People Magazine about the upcoming documentary on his life, entitled I Am Heath Ledger, Ledger’s sister Kate says his daughter Matilda completely embodies her dad’s spirit. So much so that for a while, it was heartbreaking.
"Everything she does, her movement I suppose, reminds me of Heath," Kate shared with People. "I think the first five years after Heath passed, every time I’d see Matilda [I] would be in tears. Now, I am really happy that I am at a stage that I can see Matilda and be happy and feel her daddy’s energy through her."
This breaks our hearts, but also makes us feel so grateful that Ledger is living on through his daughter.
Kate also opens up about the experience of watching the upcoming documentary about her brother, and how it almost feels as if it was made specifically for Matilda.
“You can tell her about things, but with her being able to visually see his movement and his expressions, it’s almost like he had actually filmed the documentary himself and pieced it together for her,” she said.
Here’s the trailer, and it looks like a must-see:

As much as we miss Heath, we know his legacy will live on through his family and his work for years to come. Missing you, Heath, and loving you always.
