Whiri Mako had a request when Bill was about to go onstage with her in New Zealand. From Shatner Rules: Mr. Shatner. My mother loved you when she was alive. May I hug you for her? My mother would have loved to have held you.” I was more than willing to oblige such a wonderful and meaningful request. Sure beats your average, run- of- the- mill “Can I have your autograph?” And it was a long hug, a silent hug, and one that she was doing so that the spirit of her departed mother could experience it. People were in my dressing room, watching us, but they all receded far, far away into the background. The only thing I could hear was my breath, her breath, and perhaps the breath of her lost mother. Soon, I began to cry, and so did she. By the end of our hug, I was sobbing.
