I know this post is about a month late, but it's honestly taken me that long to work out the right things to say. I kept toying with words, figuring out how to express what I'm feeling, but then failing because I became too upset. But this needs to be done. This man was an inspiration, my childhood and one of my earliest heroes.
This will not be a long post. I can't write a long post. It was hard writing that first paragraph. But the following three statements are something I need to say to Robin Williams, wherever he is now.
As the Genie you taught me that you should always be yourself. That no matter what anybody says we'll always be a prince or princess to you.
As Peter Pan you taught me that no adventure is over because to live would be an awfully big adventure.
As Alan Parrish you taught me to always face what I was afraid of.
Robin, there are so many other things to say but I can't even think of them. So many other movies you were in that made up my childhood. And I can't say thank you enough. I just hope you know how much I, and the rest of the world, miss you.
Genie, you're free.
