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.


I think his character on star trek is what got me into the show, I think he did such a great job and made the show immersive. I had a pretty abusive childhood, that show was all I had. Its responsible a lot of my views and morals, extremely formative. Outside of his acting, he seems like a he was a wonderful person and the world is less bright without him.
