While we were walking around San Francisco trying to get Willie to fall asleep in his stroller, we passed this house. Robin Williams used to live here… or he still did… sometimes… it is a little confusing. I think his wife… to whom he may or may not have still been married… still lives here. I guess I could have Googled it. But why deprive you of the pleasure?
There is a bench on the sidewalk near the house that has a plaque that says it is in memory of a man and a woman with the last name of Williams… who might have been Robin’s parents… or Grandparents… or something along those lines.
Anyway, depending on who you ask, Robin Williams did live here… at some time… or maybe occasionally… although he spent most of his time up until his death over across the bay.
I suppose it isn’t really the details that matter so much. It is more the fact that this is one of the places that people are using to express their outpouring of grief…
By leaving flowers and cards and such things.
It is ironic that a man who made so many people laugh can also make so many people cry.
Pouring My Art Out 
*sigh* Why is it that I feel responsible in some way. No, responsible isn’t really the right word. I feel like there was something that I could have done to possibly prevent this horrific event. Isn’t that weird? It’s not like he and I were fast friends. He probably didn’t even know I existed, even though he was from these parts originally, and we shared a last name. Maybe that’s why, or maybe not. Maybe it is just that part of me that desires to mother the world. What a shame.
Thanks for sharing the pictures of a house that he may or may not have lived in at some time or another. Maybe the bench was for my parents…..
He did live there, I’m just not sure how often he did recently.
That last line. I’ve been saying that ever since it happened. So true. Breaks your heart.
It really does.
His death definitely rattled me. Next time I’m down there, I’m going. 🙂 just loved him bunches.
He really connected with people. Funny how many comedians make really good actors.
He was the best. 🙂
Indeed.
Damn I wish I would have saw this earlier. I would have ask you to kiss the ground or something for me.
I will next time I am back there.
Best Robin Williams post I’ve seen. Good job.
Thanks.
Exactly why his death made so many cry – much of his life was spent making us laugh, dream & think ❤
Right… I guess it isn’t really ironic at all, is it.
Is this Sea Cliff area?
I think so… right above China Beach.
Sad. So much wealth and fame and decency – the world is a poorer place now that Williams is gone.
Indeed.
