Lessons from a NON-survivor.
Eric Clapton wrote the song Tears from Heaven after his son died falling out window on the 53rd floor in NYC. (It lacked a window guard.)
The Snopes article on this is quite informative:
“The death of Conor Clapton was one of those accidents that seem so preventable with hindsight yet aren’t imaginable until they happen. The housekeeper had just finished cleaning the window and left it open to air the room when Conor ran past him and fell out the 4-by-6 opening.”
“By law, New York City apartments must have window guards installed on every window in all residential buildings with three or more tenants, but a 1984 ruling exempted condominiums from this regulation, placing the onus upon the owners of such units to install such safety devices.”
Here’s the heart breaking story:
The curator of this project stumbled into this video by Kathy Falcicchio who does lots of AMAZING Robin Williams tribute videos. ~ ~ That is what prompted the research on this song, so it seemed fitting to include it here:
WhatDreamsMayCome.org is echoing Robin William’s spiritual legacy to bring MORE kindness to the world.
Beginning on Robin’s 64th birthday we started publishing some of his most inspirational works, tributes or those who are being Robin for someone else.
About the project: Instead of “liking” Robin and all that he stood for, you are being invited to be Robin for someone else. Let’s echo an immense legacy and fill the world with MORE love.
Let’s rise to the occasion and show that all the love Robin has given to us mattered in imagining and creating a better world for us all.
