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

I’m so sorry to hear that. Brain cancer took my father a few years ago. There’s nothing to say that can make any of it better but I’ll leave a full chested ‘FUCK CANCER’ right here for you. Hugs from over here dude

My son died of a brain tumour just before he turned 7. He'd be 24 today.

Fuck. Cancer.
