May you rest peacefully, Robin Williams

This week we saw/heard/read about the death of actor Robin Williams.  A death of an individual in there sixties is not to far of a stretch.  Adding to the tragedy of his death was the fact that it was a suicide.  A suicide due to a mental illness: depression.  A person could be rather taken back by the fact that a man who brought laughs and entertainment to millions was depressed.  Really, how could a person who had money, success, and fans be depressed (you know someone is thinking that). Imagine though not knowing who was around you because they really liked you as a person.  Not being able to live a "normal" life.  Those could be rather depressing in themselves.  

Depression is not something to be taken lightly.  Sure everyone gets sad now and again. That is expected.  Living day to day though struggling with trying to find a light of happiness can be hard.  Depression is hard.  Suicide truly is not an answer.  People care and are there to help.  If it happens to you, call a hotline:  Suicide Crisis Lines

Another blogger also shared their viewpoint and said it better then I ever could. Please take the time to read: If you need help

There are five of my fave Robin Williams movies.  I will also be setting up a viewing of "Dead Poets Society" since Jules over at If I had100dollars had glorious things to say about this movie.

For now, Thank you Robin Williams for the happiness, laughs and entertainment you brought to people through the years now that your struggle has come to an end, may you rest in peace.
