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.
Honestly, I don’t really know. He was a celebrity, not my friend.
I loved quite a lot of the things he started in. TNG is a significant part of my childhood. Outside of acting, he seemed like a class act.
But I never knew the guy. His death brings me sadness, but I don’t think I’m in mourning. Not for him at least. His death just feels like another piece of the world I was born into going away.
