My condolences to you and your family … your father sounds like an amazing man who fostered and guided a great human being in you that is making a better world for us when you make us smile and happy with the images and videos and memes you create and freely share.

I lost my father and mother years ago. They were born and raised in the wilderness of northern Ontario and they knew nothing about modern science and technology. Dad was so mesmerized by the episodes of Star Trek TNG that we watched in the 90s that he said to me once that he was amazed that people were now flying through space like that. I had to tell him it was all made up and just a show … but it made me realize just how fantastic and convincing these performances can be. My parents were also very supportive in their own way for us. Although we dealt with all our own emotion and traumatic baggage through life, they kept me grounded, aware and curious about the world which helped me to survive, thrive and enjoy life a lot more. From the way you make us all laugh, I am sure your father did the same.

I only know your father through the actions and personality you share with us here … and to a Vulcan, it sounds like he lived long and prospered … and to a Klingon, it sounds like he lived a life of honor

We never really lose the people we love the most in our lives. My father passed eight years ago and my mother a year after but it feels like I hear and feel them every day.

Nee-nas-koo-min kee-na nesh-ta koo-ta-wee … it is Ojibway/Cree and translates to ‘I send my praises to you and your father’

I send all my love to you and I send all my thanks to you for being a beautiful person.
