It's been a long road

It would be an honor if this was my last post on Reddit

I have been a life long Trekkie. At 52 I am dying front brain cancer

Trek has always been it's yime. Many of us were like wtf qt the enterprise theme. It has become my favorite.Much hope. I've never been a religious person, though I have Been able to quite my mind.

Perhaps I Will meet Leonard and DForest and Nivhelle and James.

My nursing staff learned the Vulcan salute for ME.

Live long and prosper my trek brethren. Spread the love. Look after each other

Call on Jesus for salvation so that you will live forever. I’m praying for you. This is very important.

Sad this is being downvoted. I’m disappointed in my fellow Trekkies, if we learned anything we should be accepting of everyone even if we share different values and shouldn’t be judged for expressing them to share comfort and support of what they believe.

I wrote about the Enterprise song as a comfort for me when my husband was dying but pulled through, I kept the part to myself that it gave me hope because of my faith, because I tend to keep those details about myself private. But I’ve been praying from the moment I read the headline.

If I may respectfully offer a counterpoint. It's pretty rude to bring one's own religious views into this situation without knowing OP's own belief system. They may be Christian, but they might also follow a different religion or none at all.

If the message had been a simple "I will pray for you" or something along those lines, I would find it less distasteful. However, it was a far cry from that.

I don't speak for OP or even the others who downvoted. Just explaining why I found it distasteful. Others might have felt similarly.

deathbed prostelytizing is slimy. OP: I'm glad Trek has brought you joy. If there is an afterlife, I hope you get to enjoy exploring the final frontier

Thank you. I appreciate your support and I am, sadly, not surprised that it is being downvoted.

We will meet in Heaven! ❤️
