kiss me, I'm Irish

To even begin describing what Alan Rickman means to me would be impossible. So let me take you back to a 13 year old me, with an English class project. It was a speech, and I had to say why I wanted my class to save my chosen celeb, and not throw them overboard a hot air balloon! My chosen celeb? Alan. I began with his amazing work both on and off screen! His personal life and his Charisma. But then I moved on to the real stuff, how at 4 years old I saw my first Harry Potter movie and how my favourite character was, no not Harry, not even hermione! But Snape! Idk what it was that hit 4 year old me that day but it was magical (pun intended). From then on all I wanted was to act, be on stage, in movies (be a dark and mysterious wizard, but that's for another time) Alan inspired me. More than anyone could know. So there I was in a class of 24 people sobbing as I read what he meant to me. Today, is a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. Today I was asked by my English teacher to re read the speech (that he has framed) and for once, I wasn't the only one crying! RIP Alan Rickman. You beautiful beautiful soul!
