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.

Well shit... I'm sorry you found out this way.

[-] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Same here, but honestly I'd rather it be this way than from some crappy YouTube ad or news program. Here I can read other people's notes on their feelings and happy memories.

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The happy memories is what I was searching for. They helped me.

This to both. I'd also rather find out this way. Probably also the sense of humor Sir Patrick would have had.
