If you've ever lost someone you love, then you probably understand just how important

It wasn't even really a goodbye.

It said, quote, dear mother and father, I have gone away to walk aboard an alien spaceship,

as reoccurring dreams assured, a 42-month interstellar voyage to explore the vast universe.

for some larger purpose.

I have all that and more coming up.
