It will always be one of those unanswered question...if he only knew, would it have made a difference?

Like you, the death of Robin Williams is still very raw for me. I caught the end of the PBS special on him the other night and it was excellent. Pam Dawber's statement at the end sure said what we were all thinking. If he had known how much the world loved him....would it have made a difference? John Ritter was so bright and sparkling--I loved him, from clear back when he was the minister on the Waltons. Both these guys are/were around my age, so that brings it even closer to home for me. I feel sad that Joan Rivers died as well, but somehow I feel like she was the lucky one. She lived until 81 (I know it's never long enough--believe me I KNOW!), but she never suffered, she was in a coma for a week, and then was gone. I don't know about you, but I pick that way to go over the way that John Ritter and Robin Williams left us.dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-70527041709452477242014-09-11T10:23:10.178-04:002014-09-11T10:23:10.178-04:00OMG, those were always so funny and to watch Furle...OMG, those were always so funny and to watch Furley (or Roper) get all weirded out.

He was so so funny.

I've blocked everyone's messages on my personal FB account that shows Twin Towers or 'never forget' and I kind of feel like 'you won't let me forget!' The truth is when I see that, I don't think about the people that lost their lives, I think about the images of the buildings being hit that were SEARED into my brain and the people behind it. I can't help that is how I see it and I don't care to see those images again to bring back the trauma of it all. I've said my prayers for those affected by it and their families and that's going to have to be enough. I respect that others do what they need to do this day but I refuse to give over every September 11th to them.

I feel the same way you do about reliving a tragedy every year gives power to the terrorists. I know other people feel like it honors the memory of those that lost their lives or lost loved ones. To me, it's a fine line between "never forget" and "don't let the bad guys win". Sometimes I wonder if I walk the right side of the line because while people all around me are rewatching news footage and rehashing the events, I'm doing other things. One of my students wanted to know yesterday if we were going to watch the footage in class today, and when I told him no, he wanted to know why not. I'm not sure how to explain my stand to and 8th grader who clearly grew up in a household where honoring means watching over an over.<br />another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-68961023388757088792014-09-11T08:38:38.460-04:002014-09-11T08:38:38.460-04:00I don't really have a favorite.

Whether they are funny or serious, they so completely take on the persona (with flashes of their own of course) that each role is different and each role can be my favorite for a time.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-57367398552931741852014-09-11T07:18:32.387-04:002014-09-11T07:18:32.387-04:00Finding that clip of the two of them together is a...Finding that clip of the two of them together is awesome. The fact that John was called up to stage completely impromptu makes it even more of a demonstration of what a true talent he was and he did hold his own pretty well with Robin Williams, but of course also sees first hand why Robin was so far ahead of everyone else.
