Robin Williams was a wonderful, sweet, generous spirit - too bad it takes the loss of someone great to remind us of how we should be.
He had spontaneously reached out to one of my patients in the most encouraging way, during an accidental encounter as they were standing in line - for what I do not recall. But Mr Williams overheard how my patient was in rehab and told him to stick with it that it was the best thing he could do for himself. That two minute exchange carried my patient through the full 90 day program and beyond.
You never know how a few minutes of kindness can impact someone's life. Pass it on.
