Be thoughtful

My daughter,

Today Robin Williams committed suicide. He was a great and funny actor. I grew up watching several of his movies. The news repots say that he died at age 63. He left a note saying he felt alone and unloved. I have been thinking about that a lot today. He had a great career, fame, money, friends,  loving kids and wife. How could he possibly feel alone? He battled depression. How sad to know he felt alone and his only thought to solve this problem, was to leave this life.

 I don't have depression myself but I know it is real. I try my hardest to be aware of others feelings. I love the quote "be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about" . Though you may not understand a friends trials, it may be the hardest thing they will ever have to face.

Depression is real and is not something that should ever lead to suicide. If you have having deep feelings of depression and considering harming yourself, please get help.

Know you will always be important. Know that no matter what happens in your life, your parents love you. Know who you are and what you believe. Know that you are never alone.
