Anyone who has seen Dr. Randy Pausch, or his internet-famous “Last Lecture“… knows just how awesome of a person Randy Pausch was. I say “was” because Randy Pausch passed away today after his battle with pancreatic cancer.
The video which is a must watch if you haven’t already, is inspiring to say the least. NEVER in my life have I seen someone as accepting as Randy in terms of death. Granted, there was indeed nothing he could do about it – so dwelling and mourning about his circumstances… would do him no good.
I hope you will spend some time watching his Last Lecture, it is long – so I suggest checking it out over the weekend. Yes, this is the guy that was on Oprah ladies… so if you watched that – you know what we are talking about here.
Our thoughts & prayers go out to his family, even though we do not personally know him – his story was inspirational and gives you hope that even in the darkest times… acceptance can be one of the greatest releases.
Like most, I first saw this incredible man on Oprah. He was the epitome of the words HOPE and GRACE. I’m very sad to read of his passing.
That man was totally amazing. Sad to hear he is gone.
@Nancy Bond – very sad indeed, however I doubt he would want us to feel that way – he was too positive.
@deb – agreed.
