Comments : Is It Too Late To Call You My Hero

    Depression really is a horrible thing isn't it? Something that really only we can battle within ourselves. This is probably one of my favorite poems from you Kaitlyn. I don't care about the punctuation or errors. This one was truly from your heart. It seems like you wrote this to Robin himself. Thats what made it so good in my opinion. With depression, it can be hidden so well. The seemingly happy people are not at all. It's a wonder how we can stay so strong for years. Maybe there is someone keeping us alive. I loved how you talked how he affected you life. That to me stood out and made the poem. Those were your truest feelings. The love you had and how he made you happy with his movies though you were sad. I think we all need someone like that in our lives no matter no it is. This is such a great dedication. Great work. Edit- Also no it's not too late to call someone a hero. The title is perfect to go with what you wrote.

    I have shared this before that I personally experienced deep depression and it's worse than actual physical pain. My prayers are for Robin's family and friends. My darkness and pain ended when the Lord Jesus came into my life, today my depression and sufferings are gone, I don't know what Robin believed in as far as God is concerned but I do know that God is close to the downtrodden and suffering. Death is not kind especially the death of a loved one. I am glad Jesus rose from the dead to give me and others the blesseded hope of living again! Ken

    Thank you for this. Quite a tribute to a brilliant performer whose work will live on and - hopefully - continue to move and inspire future generations. His struggle with depression is one suffered by so many others (myself included) and for them, for us, his death isn't just tragic and generically heartbreaking; its personally, horrifyingly personally devastating --- I am acutely aware of how easily it might have been me, how closely, and often, I flirted with death. I feel such incredible guilt over what might have been and shame for knowing what almost was, compassion for him and what I imagine he suffered, sorrow for his family and for everyone whose life was touched by his phenomenonal talent, but most of all I feel grateful to still have the life I nearly gave up before making my own contribution to the world.

    I can only hope I may one day manage to make the world a better place by even just a tiny fraction of the sum total positive impact he had throughout his too-short life and phenomenonal career.

    It seems like he was not only an actor or someone you watch on tv but rather someone who has been a very great part of your life... someone that brightens your day whenever its grey, somone who makes you smile whenever your sad, someone who gives you hope whenever your loosing it... you jotted down your feelings well...
