He means more to me than I thought.

I was raised in an abusive home, and Star Trek TNG was one of my few escapes. I remember wanting to be like Captain Picard when I grew up. Confident, kind, direct, capable, and loving.

I don’t know if I’m there yet. But I’m trying.

I already miss you. So very much.

Would you mind sharing what he meant/means to you? I think reading your words will help.

    Same. I normally don’t particularly care that much about celebrity deaths. I mean, it’s sad in a lot of cases, but it doesn’t usually well my eyes. But when I found out about Patrick, I felt a huge gut punch. The last time I felt this was Robin Williams :( they were both good people who did not deserve dementia :(
