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 used to go to sleep listening to the furnace and pretending it was the hum of the Enterprise with Patrick Stewart at the helm. I was safe because he was there. I'm in my fifties now and still that sometimes helps me get to sleep.
His passing is like a gut punch. My stomach is in a knot and my eyes are all welled up.
RIP Patrick - you will be missed.
