Alan Rickman left us on January 14th at the age of 69. He was suffering from cancer.

As a Potterhead, I can not begin to express my deep deep sadness about this news. I cried upon reading the news last night in the middle of studying with my little girl, checking my feeds.

I worried my poor little girl because she could clearly see that I was terribly distraught.

To Alan Rickman, Professor Snape, may you rest in peace.

Thank you for everything.
