It’s been one year since my encounter with Robin. I don’t often repost videos, but this one meant a lot to me. It is a longer edit of my original video. This encounter resonated with so many people that it became my second most viewed video, with over 40 million views. One year later. Time goes very quickly. Thank you for the continued support of my page!
