Zelda Williams is speaking out about the anniversary of her father, Robin Williams' passing. As usual, the daughter of the comedy legend will be stepping away from social media on August 11th.
The 31-year-old took to Twitter to explain how fans can honor her father and why she chooses to avoid the internet on this difficult day.

The two shared a love of films and Nintendo, as seen in their 2011 commercial for the gaming device.
Each year, Zelda takes a break from social media on August 11th, the death anniversary of her father.
Robin was father to three children — Zachary Pym Williams, Cody Alan Williams and Zelda Williams.
"Tomorrow is Dad’s death anniversary. As always, I will not be here. It’s hard for me on regular, good days to remain the person expected to graciously accept the world’s need to share their memories of him and express their condolences for his loss," wrote.
She continued: "But sometimes, that leaves me emotionally buried under a pile of other’s memories instead of my own. After all, even roses by the truckload still weigh a ton. Tomorrow, it is simply too much."
Zelda concluded by sharing suicide prevention services based all over the world, including The South African Depression Anxiety Group, Crisis Services Canada Hotline and Lifeline Australia.
We're thinking of Zelda and all of Robin's family and friends on this difficult day.
