My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that’s gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn’t help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.

To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you’ve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too…

Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I’ve ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We’ll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.

—My only statement. My brothers’ are also online. Thank you for all your kindness, and goodbye for awhile guys. xo

That was beautiful. My heart aches for them all.

..that's beautiful truth...I think with the person who he was we will always remember what we had more than what was lost and that's the measure of him...there is nothing more you could give people...

also he was inspiring cause it shows you don't have to be the tallest guy in the world, or the best looking guy, or the smartest guy, he had a super successful career despite not being the stereotype perfect hollywood leading man.

His long time assistant
that found him hanging by his belt

An article on the Holy Moly website that probably sums up what a lot are feeling:
http://www.holymoly.com/celebrity/ne...ng-people70296

[Robin Williams had 'serious money troubles' before his death
The Mrs Doubtfire actor, found hanged in his California home,
had been battling with depression and money worries ]

[Robin Williams was found hanged after telling friends he had “serious money troubles”
and had sought treatment for depression in the weeks before his death, it has emerged.
The 63-year-old actor, who was once reputed to be worth £75 million, had complained
of losing a large chunk of his fortune in alimony payments to his two ex-wives,
and had been trying to sell his 600-acre ranch in California to raise much-needed funds.
Police said Williams had been found dead in a bedroom at his home by his personal assistant. ]

tortured myself and watched his oscar speech again. I'm now angry.

Honestly when I looked at him I always felt he was a man that didn't look happy. I sometimes felt sorry for him and I don't even know why. I never watched his interviews where he talked about depression.

Christopher mentioned him being like Mrs Doubtfire in the Highlights Show just before he died. He's gonna be pretty upset :(

Absolutely atrocious reason for an infraction. Disgusting.
