There’s another saying on the wall of my kitchen; this one simply is “Laugh uncontrollably.” How long has it been since you laughed like this? One man that could elicit uncontrollable laughter is sadly no longer with us. It’s been five years and six months to the day since Robin Williams left us. Today I offer to you the Catch I wrote and the video I made the day after his death. Reading it again, it captured me, and I thought I would share it with you. We forget too fast. There are things he taught us that with his films and recordings, he is still teaching. I offer this reminder because the one thing he did so well is something we all need to do better.
Today, the world mourns the death of its funniest man, who, in the end, couldn’t find that last laugh that might have prevented him from taking his own life. He assumed so many personalities except the one he needed the most — himself. He was uncomfortable in his own shoes, so he got used to everyone else’s, and for that reason, he had a huge amount of compassion for people from all walks of life, in all situations. No one could stand in someone else’s shoes better than Robin Williams.
