A story from cosyfiep

I had always been a star trek fan; I grew up when the original series aired and had a terrible crush on Leonard Nimoy (I was devastated when he passed in 2015 and still cant watch the end of Wrath of Khan). When I was in college the next generation was premiering, so I went out and got a small tv to have in my dorm room (the dorm had a communal tv, but not many sci-fi fans so getting to see the newest star trek would have been neer impossible). I watched and fell in love with Patrick Stewart at first sight and performance. This was the start of my life long love of the man and his work. I later found out that he had been in Dune and loved his portrayal of Gurney. I so wanted to see him in person, but alas that was not to be as I was either unavailable when he was at a convention near my home, or the few cons he went to were just too far for me to get to. Forty years passed and I never got to see him in person, though I still loved him from afar...I watched movies that he was in and was thrilled when he did Xmen and finally Picard. His passing has left a huge hole in me and now shares the spot with Leonard. I cried for days when I heard of his passing---it was just soooo fast--- I have a figure of him from TNG that I have had on my dresser for 20+ years, this summer I noticed that one of the arms had detached itself and when I picked it up, the other arm followed suit (I have not been able to reattach them yet as the part fell inside the figure), was this a bad omen?
I do not know, but I do know that he touched my heart and soul and that that piece of me will always cherish him and will be glad to have remembrances of him. We will always have Paris.
