One of my earliest memories of comedy came from Robin Williams. He was a genius to me. After he was typecast as a fast loud funny guy, he immediately broke it and did dramatic roles. To experience one of his interviews was to truly understand him. He was a man (comedian, performer, actor.....etc) that was able to take us from extreme highs to...tugging on our hearts. (Patch Adams, Mrs. Doubt fire, Dead Poets Society). Everyone loves when people make you laugh. I have tried my whole life to make people laugh. He brought so much joy to others and yet, he suffered. Depression has recently taken a friend of mine. It has now taken another friend of all of ours. It is present in my family and has powerfully manipulated many souls close to me. I was with friends and family when I heard about Robin Williams and to be honest, I had to almost ignore the news. Im not much of a Hollywood fan but I believe in laughter......and he was a factory of laughter for a whole lot of people! I feel like this is the day the laughter died. I didnt idolize him, I didnt even follow him. I just truly appreciated the gift he was given and am extremely saddened, for all, that he suffered from lack of laughter and took his own life. Somehow I feel like the kid in me just died and I cant explain it. I didnt know how affected I would be by this tragic news. I pray foremost for his family. As much as I am at a loss, I never met him and he had no idea who I was. If I could finish on a high note, remember that his characters did not die. He poured his gifts into his characters and spoke to us and our struggles and they shall carry on through his memory and spirit. Robin Williams invested in people, was raw with emotion, honest and a flawed man. I can respect that............(flashing blue cursor)
