thanks_spaceman2641 karma

Not a question, I just want to say thanks. My six year old daughter is a big fan of yours. She's extremely shy, but has a huge love of science that was very much fueled by a combination of your music (she loved Music Monday) and your videos from the space station.

She met you briefly on Canada Day on parliament hill - you were walking up the hill behind a small barrier, obviously trying to get somewhere and not wanting to get caught by a huge crowd. Only a few of us saw you, and you came over to shake some hands quickly. But when you got to my daughter who I was holding up so she could see, she was too shy to say anything or shake your hand. So you took the time to stop and talk to her, to show her you both had the same Canada tattoos on your hands and to ask her about Music Monday. A huge smile, she shook your hand, and has been proudly telling the story ever since.

Everyone on the hill wanted to see you that day, and you took the time to make a little girl happy when you knew every extra moment could have led to being mobbed. Truly a class act. So thank you, and know that that quick moment is a memory she will treasure.
