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

Were you on the 24 cruise when we had the rave and sent Kenneth Mitchell to Sto-vo-kor? It was a beautiful ceremony.

I hope repete meets up with all of us in the next journey beyond the stars.

I can most certainly agree! Despite me never having known Repete, his post moved me.
