Wow. Can't believe it's been ten years to the day... Very much a "Where were you?" moment. Yeah it was the middle of the year. Too sunny, too hot. I remember my mom telling me at our first apartment, I said something like, "You're joking..." Guess that was my only excuse I could spit out because I knew that couldn't be true... He was fine. He wasn't 93... He was still doing movies and just did a tv show. (Apparently while having trouble remembering the lines.) She obviously was stupidly somehow joking. But my mom wouldn't joke like that... (In fact, this was the second time she told me one of my male fantasy heros had died smh.) It was horrible. I asked her how? She told me. Looked it up. The world wasn't mistaken. There was no misreporting or a hoax. I was devastated, again. God it sucked. Still sucks... Man, to think some of yall never saw him get his Oscar in real time, got to follow his career in real time, or maybe even knew he came from stand up and Mork and Mindy. Having him on VHS for god's sake. There was no youtube to watch his interviews and stand up yet, or to put up your re-enactments of Mrs. Doubtfire popping up with a cake mask... No. If you wanted to see his new movie you had to GO sit in a theater by god or else wait to GO to a video store to rent the dvd... @derpyderpins just mentioned the other day about his appearance in Law&Order: SVU. That was a cool surprise. Unless you're a fan of that show, you probably haven't seen that cameo. Makes me cry every time... damn it. Good Morning Vietnam was special too. (Even seeing him as that creepy pedophile photographer was shocking and disgusting, yet mesmerizing. I can't remember how it ended... Have to watch it again.) Also made me cry. Horrible to see a legend be broken down like that. What a brilliant mind. Turns out he reminds me of my dad. Also gone.

Surprised me the son did an interview. https://www.usatoday.com/story/ente...robin-williams-anniversary-death/74676115007/
Well, where were you when you heard?
What's your fav movie of his?
I debated on where to post this, but think this crowd probably needs him the most.

I didn't know he was suffering from dementia.
