I went to my iPad this morning just to check the weather and see what time it might turn wet and I thought I would just have a quick glance at FB first. Wrong, checking FB can often not be quick. I have a lot of interesting things (to me anyway) on my feed. I came across Jami Lins post about how during an exercise class she thought of Robin and cried. I found myself much in her shoes. Several days after his death, I still feel a part of me is numb. I found myself wanting to know more about him, the real Robin that his family and friends new in between his jokes and his genius. I got pulled into watching video clip after video clip in awe of his facial expressions, his comedic voices, his quickness and his words. All the time trying to glimpse the inner mind of this man that captured millions of peoples hearts around the world and held them. I came across this Johnny Carson interview about his movie Awakenings. During the interview Robin the performer is unleashed and the endless creativity rolls on so Johnny Carson has to be quick just to get a word in lol but then Robin visibly strokes his face several times to calm himself down and take off his funny persona and bring himself out of it so he can actually talk normally and seriously for a moment about the movie. Every video clip of him is a revelation and every clip cements the love I have for him, the comedic, the dramatic, the kind, the giving, the vulnerable, the shy, the warts and all. We were indeed so blessed to have this man amongst us. So looking forward to watching many more clips and movies over time. For in Robin was everything about being human, so much to admire and so much to be saddened by that he lost his battle with the inner battles he was given. I cannot recall a single other human being that I have grieved for more, (other than my parents). Im still sharing my thoughts on Robin because I still feel it. Never met him of course but I am still grieving him. Even more than I grieved Princess Diana and I queued ALL DAY at Kensington Palace in London just to sign her condolence book. If you want to know how much can one man give? Just think of Robin. He could give no more. May he be forever in peace.
