Robin William


I grew up watching Robin Williams’ film and the one film of his that I specifically remember is Mrs.Doubtfire. Robin Williams is a man with true talent and he always touches people’s heart through his movies. Seeing him on screen, my smile is automatically on.
After knowing his passing, I went and done some researches about him and his death.
He died because he hanged himself with a belt and he was battling depression. He was addicted to drugs and alcohols since the passing of his good friends, John Bellushi and Christopher Reeves. He did not take drugs and alcohols because he enjoyed it, he took them because it’s an ‘Escape’ from depression of the passing of his close friends. He did seek professional help to battle his addiction but it was too strong and ending his life was his solution.
When Christopher Reeves injured himself from an accident, Robin vowed to pay his medical fees even if Chris’ insurance won’t cover. Robin loved him and took good care of Chris.
He loved his daughter so much, he posted a final photo in his Instagram wishing his daughter, Zelda, Happy 25th Birthday on 31st July.
He’s more than just an actor, he’s a hero to many, a great friend to the late Christopher Reeves and John Bellushi, a caring person to United State Military and especially a great father to his daughter.
I cannot sleep through the nights knowing he left us while he still can continue to make our bellies shake with laughter. 
These few nights, I had a flashback of all his films that I watched and this is what I learned from the films so far:
(Mrs.Doubtfire) taught me that no matter how hard or what kind of sacrifices you will do, you just want to get close to the people you love.
(Genie in Disney’s Aladdin) taught me that there’s always magic and happiness if you try hard enough to look for it.
(Patch Adam) taught me to be happy everyday even though life is short.
(Dead Poet Society) taught me to enjoy life and art which what makes us want to live for.
(Good Will Hunting) taught me to challenge yourself to help those who can strive more.
(Lovelace from Happy Feet) taught me to just dance and be happy no matter what.
(Bicentennial Man) taught me to be different and unique.
I learned one important lesson from him, you can act happily and silly on the outside but there will always be dark secrets on the inside. Seek friends for help and never think of suicide because you have much to live for.
I will miss you deeply Robin, the nanny, the robot, the genie, the doctor, the teacher, the penguin, the radio man, the doctor and many more. My childhood would not be fun and beautiful without you.
