Smile cried today - RIP Robin Williams An era has ended today in the field of cinematic excellence in comedy. Robin Williams will be missed by billions across the world, but his contribution to cinema will be remembered forever. How can someone have so much sorrow deep inside his heart while he made the whole world smile? Such a tragic end to such a bright personality.  Very truly mentioned by the president of the United States, Barack Obama " Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. "  RIP Robin Williams. You will live forever in our hearts.
