A Sad Day

Yesterday, while working overtime, I received a text message from my mama. It said Robin Williams was dead. I thought it was joke. The meanest, most cruel joke ever, but a joke nonetheless.

It turned out that it was not a joke.
He had killed himself.

And I was devastated. So much so that when Tay come home, I told him I had bad news.
He gives me a curious look and I immediately start tearing up.
"Robin Williams died."
"What?!"
"They think he killed himself."
"This day just got so much worse."
Indeed it Tay, indeed it did.

Robin Williams was a staple of my childhood, just like many kids from my generation. We all loved his array of movies: from Hook to Mrs. Doubtfire to the ultimate Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society.

The world will never be same.

I think that President Obama said it best.

I don't know about you, but the Skelton family will be having a Robin Williams marathon this weekend to try and cope.
