Two Years On...And Robin Still Makes Me Laugh


It is difficult to comprehend that it has been over two years since Robin Williams died but even now, watching the sketches, the interviews, the specials, comic relief, making Martha Stewart and Ellen laugh and watching his movies...Robin Williams makes me laugh so much and even though he isn't here anymore, his legacy lives on in making myself and countless others laugh.

He was like a sponge, he soaked everything up, analysed it and then delivered the lines which had everyone laughing.

I can also relate to the personal struggles that Robin had to go through, I was diagnosed with depression after being violently mugged in 1995 where I was stabbed three times and slashed across the face...this one small, terrible incident triggered the depression and I have been battling depression for over twenty years now.

I have had therapy and anti-depressant drug treatment but there a number of things that have stopped me from committing suicide...1, I made a promise to my mom several weeks before she passed away that I was going to kill myself as my mom always said that it was the cowards way out. 2,my twin sons were born in January 2012 and both these handsome, comical and such intelligent little men make me laugh, give me hugs and kisses and they have given my life so much depth and meaning, that they probably don't know that them being here has saved their dad from killing himself. And finally 3, I try and watch everything that Robin did (as mentioned above) and he just makes me laugh so much that I literally have tears rolling down my cheeks.

God bless and RIP Robin Williams...two years on and you are still making me laugh and have tears of joy and laughter rolling down my cheeks which is such an extraordinary and life saving gift.
