Something truly shocking happened today. This afternoon I received a text that actor/comedian, Robin Williams had died. Celebrities pass away all the time but for Robin, who was only 63 to pass away, sadly due to suicide, is just unbelievable! It's heartbreaking. I grew up with him. I never met him but he was a part of my life. His movie Flubber was the first film I marketed when I came to LA. A true talent, a great comedian, a man whose movie roles evoked such emotion, to be gone from this earth is just saddening. He had been suffering from depression. It's hard to believe that someone who had such an impact on so many lives would get to a point where he would take his own life. Mr. Williams, I'm sorry you suffered. Please know you were truly great. A source of great joy. You made a lot of people happy during your time on earth. I hope your soul is at peace and that you are finally happy.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
