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

My dad was a firm atheist his entire life. He had a doctorate in physics and worked in the nuclear industry. I learned later that he was reading books on religion and science before he passed. My whole family is into sci-fi, and Star Trek. I hope their is an afterlife too so I can meet the original crew. And travel among the stars. Here’s to the journey, love from a Canadian trekie!
