Today is a sad day for me.
I don't know how many others on my flist will feel the same as I do, but I know a few of you will.
Majel Barrett Rodenberry passed away today.
(Yes, this post will be cliche, corny, and melodramatic. You have been warned.)
This lady was married to one of the great visionaries of our time - a man who dared to have hope for the human race, and dared to share that hope with everyone else. I can't imagine what it must have been like, or what kind of a woman she must have been to capture him as totally as she did. Nor can I imagine what it must have taken to keep his dream alive and moving after his death, nor what a heavy responsibility it must have been to try to carry on with that dream.
I can only say that Star Trek shaped much of who I am, and I am very sad to see her go; though I know she has re-joined her husband and she now flies amongst the stars with the Great Bird of the Galaxy.

I didn't know this :( I was offline pretty much all of our vacation. I am also sad...She played so many roles both in front of and behind the camera. She will be missed.
