Today the world seems less bright

I have lost one of the first celebrities/characters I ever fell in love with. R.I.P Mr. Nimoy. I can’t believe he’s gone and this article is right. His last tweet breaks my heart

I knew it was coming but I still prayed he'd live a Vulcan life span. He's been with me since the day I was born. No lie, Mom watched Star Trek in the room they had her in before I was born that night. I can't remember a time when I didn't love Spock. Learning to love and respect the man behind the character took some age and wisdom and now he is gone.

I don't know why but this picture made me smile.

I can't really say just how much Star Trek and Mr. Spock meant to me. High School was rough. Being the geeky, brainy Amazon made me a daily target of bullies. There were days I was sure I would die (I have always had easy access to any number of weapons to turn against myself). I would think to myself, being the geek I am, what would Mr. Spock do? That kept me going, kept me alive, kept me excelling.

Yes, that was just a character but one Mr. Nimoy gave life to brilliantly. I will miss them both so very much.

I saw the news over lunch at the office. I went to print something in the secretary's office and saw my co-worker RI, who is a big fan too. We both started crying.

You looked like you had a good sense of humor and I wished I knew you better.



Goodbye, Mr. Nimoy. I only got to meet you a handful of times and through some of the tweets you sent to me, but I'm going to miss you. I don't know how to sing the Kaddish (or even when it's proper to sing it, though oddly it's on youtube).

Instead let me share Ravel's Kaddish because his beautiful music is always appropriate.
