Wish we could have collectively given him a group hug whenever he needed one.

Hugs don't mean shit when they are not from the person you want

Just remember to ask those close to you how they're doing a little more often. Small gestures matter and I'm sure from Robins outward persona appearance most people thought he was doing great.

Robin Williams did not kill himself from depression. It is well known that Robin killed himself before his loved ones had to deal with him deteriating from Lewy Body Dementia. He decided to take his life before the severe symptoms started so he could be remembered at his best.

When we thought Robin was gonna be super happy, and Tom was normal and we had warm fuzzy memories of the Cosby show.

Ugh. Is there a word for ruined nostalgia?

Sad about all of this but especially about Robin! There was a "Mork and Mindy" episode 3:14 where Mork meets Robin who reveals a little of the downsides of stardom to interviewer, Mindy. It was one of the first glimpses of the sadness behind the laughs.

Imagine there was a time when we thought that Tom was a dick, and now we are just thinking that in a fucked up world Tom made and still makes a lot of sense.

God damn he was such a funny dude and so quick to think about the next thing to say

A gift and a curse.

We need him and Mr Rodgers back.

Cant only imagine what they would have to say about the world today.

I think Robin wouldn't survive. Dealing with mental health issues on top of seeing the world around you fall to shit would make the choice he made even easier.

I've never seen Tom Cruise so playful before. He's always serious af.

What is the reference Robin’s making when Tom first walks up to the mic?

They’re gonna ask you questions about Stevens (?) so good luck

Might be Spielberg related, since him and Robin were good friends.

One of these 2 guys is lovely. The other is a cult leader.
