When I first heard about his suicide I was saddened that his depression "won." Then I heard he was in the early stages of Parkinson's. I'm still saddened by his death, but I understand why he might have killed himself. I have a medical condition that causes unrelenting pain. There are days that the pain overwhelms me. At those times, death seems like a viable alternative. I can understand the fear of the deterioration of something like Parkinson's. I can understand wanting to have some control over the end of one's life.

RIP Robin. I hope you are in a better place.
