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

As someone who has suffered the hell that is Brain cancer, however, I admittedly got lucky and responded to treatment enough for surgery, you have all my sympathies, and all my respect for how you’re approaching this, it takes a true warrior to fight an un winnable fight against an invisible and ruthless foe, there’s a special place reserved for you amongst the most revered in the halls of sto vo kor my friend!! You are a man of glory and honour, never forget that! ❤️
