See Leonard Nimoy's touching final tweet
Days before his death, Leonard Nimoy reflected on life and memory in a message posted on his Twitter page.
The tweet, sent Feb. 23, seems even more poignant now in the wake of his death Friday at the age of 83.
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

A day earlier, he sent another tweet featuring a work of poetry:
I will be sharing my poetry. Today's is, "You and I have Learned," which is in my book, These Words Are for You. LLAP pic.twitter.com/CsHAtmtDnz

Nimoy, best known for playing Mr. Spock on "Star Trek," died from end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. His tweets were often signed "LLAP" for his character's famous phrase, "live long and prosper."
