Remembering Robin
When it comes to celebrities
I’m the last one to care about all the gossip and mess that surrounds
Hollywood. However, every now and again there comes a time when a truly gifted
actors life is ended and the world is at a loss.
Last year on August 11, 2014
we lost an amazing actor… Robin Williams. Williams had a long fruitful career.
He was respected, admired and loved by millions of people through out the
world. He was so diverse in all that he did. He could make you laugh. He could
make you cry. Head could take you to places you never imagined and inspire you
to be more than just mediocre.
Despite his tragic death his
legacy lives on. I love to experience his movies with my kids. It’s fun to
watch them develop the same love and admiration for his films that I have. One
of our personal favorites is Steven Spielberg’s Hook. In that movie at the end
Peter says to the notorious Captain Hook, “To live… to live would be an awfully
big adventure!”
It’s sad to think of the
sever depression that he was experiencing behind closed doors. And evermore
heartbreaking that he felt that taking his own life was the answer to escape
his metal battles. I wish that he could have taken Peter Pans words to heart.
Last year we truly lost a great artist. I hope that he has found the peace that he so
desperately sought.
