Growing up I always loved Robin Williams and the films he starred in. He had such an amazing talent to make people laugh and enjoy life. He truly was a legend and I do not know if we will ever get to see someone so explosively amazing in our lifetime again. He has always been one of my favorite actors and I always looked forward to his work projects. Even more then those, I looked forward to interviews. He had this ability to just lift an entire room into such a positive place.
This may be odd, but I have always worried about the day he would die. I knew that it would be unlike any other celebrity passing. He is someone that everyone felt they knew, and when he passed it would feel like someone in your actual day to day life had passed. My sister and I both felt this way. The amazing outpouring in support for him is nothing less then I had expected.
I only wish that someone who lit up the world with laughter, was able to get himself out of his darkest place. I wish he could have found true happiness, because I believe he truly deserved to not only be alive longer, but to be alive longer without depression or his alcoholic tendencies. His daughter Zelda Willaims uploaded this statement:
In 2009 he went on a comedy tour. I had really wanted to go, as it was in Phoenix on Valentine's day. I however decided not to as my flight to Australia left the next day. I had hoped for the last five years that he would go on one more tour, because I wanted so much to be in the same room with this great person and to first hand experience him at his finest. Unfortunately, I will never be able to do that. I will be able to fully enjoy every single interview, TV Show, and Movie he ever stared in. Although he is gone, he will never be forgotten. I feel for certain that the laughter and joy he brought will be passed down from generation to generation for more of the world to see.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart Robin Williams for being so amazing and bringing such a needed energy to this sometimes dark world. You will be missed.

I feel that was such a perfect statement by her, in which I know is such a horrible time for her. She showed strength, lost, and yet that humor that her father had as well. I do not agree with how many details were let out about his death. I think it is disrespectful to him and his family. I will choose to not remember him for that, but for every single smile he brought to my families face, as well as mine.“My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that’s gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn’t help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.
To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you’ve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too…
Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I’ve ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We’ll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.”

He lived for the Applause, so lets do one last round of applause!
