The Day That Laughter Died

Rest in Peace, Robin Williams.
July 21st, 1951 - August 11th, 2014





My childhood, teenage years and adulthood was a world of smiles, fantasy and love. A huge part of it was with thanks to the talented Robin Williams. A man who glued not only me, but millions of others to their TVs and theaters.I grew up with his movies and I have only recently started to introduce my own child to his funny madness of laughter and heartbreak.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Robin Williams will be deeply missed by millions; forgotten by none.
Thank you for bringing joy into my childhood and life with your voice and acting. Thank you for your contagious jokes, your wacky impersonations, and amazing acting. Thank you for making my childhood experience better, and thank you for bringing joy to those even though you battled with your own joy. If only you could have known how much you’ve impacted people. Your life work will live on, and you will never be forgotten. I know I won’t forget you. Thank you for helping me whenever I felt sad and having a film for every mood. Gone, but never forgotten.
