Late Monday afternoon, the news was full of the shocking death by suicide of Robin Williams. He was an incredible talent. But he was a man that had his own demons to fight and he lost the battle.
It's so sad. For his wife, his children...who adored him...and for us, his devoted fans.
I first saw him in Mork and Mindy, more years ago than I want to think about. I even remember the sad episode he did after his idol, Jonathan Winters, committed suicide. Another great talent that had demons he fought and lost to.
I will miss seeing him and will love the movies and other DVD's I have of him. I'm so sorry he committed suicide but we have no idea what he struggled with other than alcohol. That seems a shame since he beat his drug habit only to succumb to that problem. Rest in Peace, Robin!
Today was the first day of school here in our county. A day earlier than most others in our state. But, from the way she looked in the picture her mother took of her as she was leaving for school, Chewlee was happy to go. So was Tara's son, Chance, from HIS photo....but his mother cried at his first day of kindergarten. She felt dumb after sending off her older children before him but he IS the baby after all! Doesn't surprise me one bit...LOL!
It's hot here again and they claim it is going to rain at some point but the skies are clear as of now. I'm tired from the heat since my computer room (my decision) is not air conditioned. I also need to get my foot up in the air (above my heart, of course!) for a while.
Love you all. Take care. Be nice to one another. Smile....a lot! ***Hugs***
He also had early stages of Parkinson's I'm sure there is a lot. I really will miss him, he is one of my favorite actors. Even when I was young, I remember his bit part on Happy Day's, which lead to Mork and Mindy. I even watched all of his stand up. I love his one skit where he talks about " A look into a comedians mind." My other favorite stand up was live at the Met.
ReplyDeleteI agree. His stand up was always a treat and always fresh. A great talent with too many demons to fight. Sad. Sad. Sad.
