RANCAH POST – Kita tidak bisa membayangkan bagaimana rasanya kehilangan orangtua dan kemudian menghadapinya sementara dunia menyaksikan.
Kita tidak merasakan apa-apa selain empati untuk putri Robin Williams, Zelda Williams. Dia sudah target di media sosial bagi yang telah mengirimkan pesan kebencian dan mengubah foto ayahnya, berharap menunjukkan kepadanya setelah dia mati.
Berikut adalah apa yang ditulis Zelda Williams di Instagram:
“I will be leaving this account for a but while I heal and decide if I’ll be deleting it or not. In this difficult time, please try to be respectful of the accounts of myself, my family and my friends. Mining our accounts for photos of dad, or judging me on the number of them is cruel and unnecessary. There are a couple throughout, but the real private moments I shared with him were precious, quiet, and believe it or not, not full of photos or ‘selfies’. I shared him with a world where everyone was taking their photo with him, but I was lucky enough to spend time with him without cameras too. That was more than enough, and I’m grateful for what little time I had. My favorite photos of family are framed in my house, not posted on social media, and they ‘ll remain there. They would’ve wound up on the news or blogs then, and they certainly would now. That’s not what I want for our memories together. Thank you for your respect and understanding in this difficult time. Goodbye. Xo”
Dia memutuskan menjauh dari media sosial semua untuk menyembuhkan.
I’m sorry. I should’ve risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye.—

Setelah ia memposting dua tweet dengan tulus berterima kasih untuk mereka yang telah ikut kontribusi amal favorit ayahnya,:
Knowing that so many children will be helped in his honor is all I could’ve asked for. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.—

Thank you to all those donating to @StJude in memory of my father. I’m overwhelmed. The charity meant the world to him, as it does to me.—

Bagi mereka tidak menyadari, Robin Williams digembar-gemborkan untuk segala perbuatan baiknya (paling tidak dipublikasikan) atas komedi briliannya.
