I finally arrived back to the bubble yesterday, after a long detour to the far side of the core and stopping at Sag A*. Today, I stopped by Jackson's Lighthouse, to complete my round trip. I've sold a bunch of exploration data, but haven't yet sold it all, so I'm not sure yet how much I acquired.
I really enjoyed this expedition and I hope that DoveEnigma13 is doing well. Your story touched me; I've lost my mother, grandmother, and grandfather to cancer and my wife is currently in remission. Hang in there! o7
I am glad you are back and safe. Yes, the expedition was quite an experience - and one that I will never forget.
I am very sorry for your losses and hope it goes well with your wife.
We all have sad stories related to cancer - that damned disease. Personally I lost my father to cancer quite early in my life, and my mother 8 years later - and yep, also to cancer. I am sad to say that I still suffer from it. And now my father-in-law, who is a close friend to me, is terminally ill with cancer too. I seem to loose people close to me, and mostly to cancer. It’s just how my life is, and I am not a man that are very socially adept, so I don’t have an abundance of people close by. Once I decided not to bond emotionally to anyone again, but a very sweet girl convinced me otherwise, and today she is my wife and I love her beyond belief. But sometimes I hear a voice saying - will I loose her too? I am not letting it control my life, but I do hear it. That being said though, I do hope to die last at an old age. I don’t want her to feel the pain from me dying from her. Yeah - true love is a funny thing.
I wish you all the best out there. Let’s hope they will keep getting better at combating cancer, and that perhaps one day only few people will die from it - if any.
