Evidently Robin Williams took his own life today.
I am so sad that Robin chose the ultimate form of self abuse to leave this world.
I have no idea of the life challenges that made him feel that this was the best path for him to take.
I truly wish that he could have dealt with life's challenges in a better way because truly he was a gift to many lives, hence the out pouring of love upon his demise.
Many of us have contemplated suicide, more than will admit, but life is a gift to be cherished and Robin enriched our lives, so I even though I will never understand what made him chose his path, I celebrate his enrichment of my life.

Rest in peace Robin.

 

I drank with this man. 1988 San Francisco.

On comedy: "You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."

On his financial dispute with Disney over Aladdin: "The only reason Mickey Mouse has four fingers is because he can't pick up a cheque."

"Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose."

"Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?"

"Do you think God gets stoned? I think so... Look at the platypus."

"In England, if you commit a crime, the police don't have a gun and you don't have a gun. If you commit a crime, the police will say, 'Stop, or I'll say stop again.'"

 

He did a lot for entertaining the Troops overseas, he will be missed greatly.
