It has been almost four years since Robin William’s death. The comedic actor shocked us all when he took his own life, leaving behind the legend of an extraordinary career and his beloved family.
His daughter, Zelda, recently posted a message to the public regarding the beloved actor's memory.
With her father’s birthday tomorrow, and her’s just ten days after, Zelda announced that she will be taking some ‘me time’ in silence to reflect on their happy moments together.
The star’s daughter seems to be a lot like her dad. Her Instagram bio reads ‘PhD in Tomfoolery, Goofballery and Shenaniganery.’
Losing a loved one is difficult to endure, and we all deal with tragedy in different ways. For Zelda, it is stepping out of the public’s eye and focusing on her favourite memories with her ‘Poppo.’
In her post, she said, ‘it’s very overwhelming to have strangers need me to know how much they cared for him right now.’
Instead of reaching out to her and passing on our love of her father, she challenged us to remember the amazing Robin Williams in a unique way.
Zelda encouraged people to donate to charities in her dad’s name, specifically to their local homeless shelter. ‘He’d have loved that.’
Her post is a very real example of positive ways to deal with loss. Not only is she revering her father’s character, but is using her influence to encourage people to give back to their local community.
Most importantly, she added, ‘try to spread some laughter and kindness around. And creatively swear a lot.’
Although Robin Williams is deeply missed, fans can honour his birthday in the special ways that Zelda has suggested.
She ended her post saying, ‘Happy early birthday, Poppo. Miss you every day, but especially these ones.’
