Last night’s Golden Globes was filled with laughter and tears, but I must say when Heath Ledger won a Golden Globe for his role in “The Dark Knight”, the water works were a-flowin’…at least in my household they were.

So when Heath’s family found out that their son was the winner for Best Supporting Actor, where in the world were they? According to People.com, the Ledger’s found out the news before boarding a flight in their native Australia.

Heath’s mother Sally Bell told People.com exclusively, “There is a lot of emotion tied up in this and we have to deal with that emotion first before we can relax and enjoy the moment, if you know what I mean….It is such a fantastic and wonderful legacy for his daughter. Matilda will have so many people who will be able to speak to her about her father’s abilities and [the] respect he had in the industry. That is such a wonderful legacy to leave.”

And after a long battle over who should be entitled to Heath’s estate, little Matilda came out victorious…though I can imagine this award will mean A LOT more to her than Heath’s millions.

Sally continued, “At this stage she is only so young, but down the track she will have all these things. It will belong to her because she is part of him.”

And THAT is the way it should be!
