Nobody gets suicide, Kid. After the fact, everybody always thinks 'had I known earlier, I could have done something. If only he would have talked to me...'
I heard someone saying on radio the other day that big depression is like hearing your whole family died...then hearing you've suddenly come into a billion dollars and neither affects you either way. I don't think that we can 'get suicide' unless we've been there. God help us. God rest Robin Williams....finally
It's a difficult thing indeed Z. It happened close to home when my brother's nephew on his wife's side did when he was 18. Being at the funeral had such a different aura around than had it been an accident of some kind. A most difficult feeling. He was a genius as well ,so I wonder about that. He was also the very first Michelin Tire Baby which they had those pictures displayed as well.
I wonder sometimes if it had something to do with his father taking all that money he made and blowing it on hair brained schemes. Maybe that just added to it.
Nice. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteShows who he was,don't you think kid?
ReplyDeleteI believe he was a good guy. I know about the USO and troop visit stuff also. Just don't get the suicide.
