My challenge is accepting the loss of the cultural and the personal icons of my life. One by one they seem to leave me with the truth that my greatest challenge is the acceptance of the transitory mortal coil that wraps us all and the necessity, as Robin Williams if he could as other wise men have said, to love one another, be good to one another and treat one another as you would want to them to treat you.
In addition to Robin Williams's monumental talent his kindness to animals and humans alike was, I think, his greatest gift.
