RIP Robin Williams

It was many years ago that I discovered the genius of Robin Williams

first on Mork and Mindy

Good Morning Vietnam

 Patch Adams

Good Will Hunting

My favourite Robin Williams film was Dead Poets Society 

Robin died this week.

I will remember him for....
His work on Comic Relief.
His friendship with Christopher Reeves.
His comedy
His accents
His energy
His frankness about his sobriety
His heart troubles
His conversation with Charlie Rose about gratefulness

His interviews were a treat of frenetic madness.
His humour could be harsh
but then again, so can life.

I think that people will learn more 
about suicide and depression 
by looking at his life 
than many other places.

If someone who was dearly loved by many 
could take his life 
then mental illness is a thing
that we should be paying attention to.



RIP
