Robin Has Kept Me Pondering

It's 12.39a.m Nigerian Local time and I just got the news of Robin Williams passing on. Under normal circumstances, I would be celebrating his transition because he was a great man who had achieved a lot but not now because of the tragic end to such a fine mind. Suicide is never an end in itself.

There are lots of questions many of us would've loved to ask Uncle Robin if we could but alas he is gone.

I am broken as I write and a lot is going through my bleeding mind. Robin, how could you allow the devil push you to the brink? Do you not know how much joy you have brought to the world around you? Oh! yes, you had a problem with the bottle, so what? We would have kept on loving the man you are. You were not just one of Hollywood's finest but you had a fine soul.

The world as you knew it would never forget you in a hurry. To your widow and three kids, GOD grant them the fortitude and grace to bear your passing.

Lights out!
