She’s stage IV so the ever relevant XKCD Lanes helps understand our understated elation at her first clear scan. After over a year of gruelling chemotherapy and a couple marathon surgeries, she’s. Always thought he was great (okay, maybe the early goofy sweaters were a bit much), but it’s wonderful to see him take root in the Little Man as an icon.īut our idyllic little life was shattered a year ago with her pancreatic cancer diagnosis. One of the things in this ‘as-adults with a child’ rewatch is just how much of a role model Wheaton’s character is. Sharing the family experience with a son who is just as into it as we are is indescribable. Being married to someone who fell in love with TNG years before we met is awesome. While in ToS we counted Redshirts, in TnG we all but make a drinking game out of things like ‘engage’, ‘make it so’, Picard leaving the bridge, and of course, the various forms of direct and implied “shut-up Wesley” and Data (the latter is surprisingly high).īeing a parent is awesome. His unquestionably favourite exhibit was the NC-1701 (okay, mine too). Just took him to the Smithsonian museums of Natural History and Air & Space. We’ve watched as a family every episode of ToS, then TAS, the ToS movies, and are now in season four of TNG. Started with things like 80s Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars when he was very young, but wanted to wait until he could start to appreciate the depth and nuance of Star Trek itself. Son's going through some difficult times, and so if I can find somewhere to send this with a chance of a response it'd add a tiny bit of joy to his childhood.Īs soon as he was old enough, we started going through mommy and daddys’ favorite shows. In developing his writing habits I've stressed the quaint fun and emotional importance of sending physical letters, so am hoping to avoid simply emailing it.


Tl dr: Son (7 years old) wrote a letter to Will Wheaton.
