Dear Bono,

Robin Williams is dead.  How does it feel to have your doppelganger  be gone?  Not that Robin Williams was really your doppelganger-especially not in the Neil McCormick Way.  Your similarities began with fame and ended with looks and extreme hairiness.

Apparently it was a suicide.  An endpoint of a deep dark depression.  I wish I could say I cannot fathom why people do this, but I can.  I have faced darkness myself-that "God-shaped hole" you have mentioned in the past.  I guess sometimes that hole can just swallow us up.  With some hope, we are perhaps spat back out-off to fight another day and another chance to fill that God-shaped hole.  But for some, it is a void that cannot be filled.

Sincerely,

JP
