Randy Pausch Will Be Missed

It is with great sadness that I write today because I just heard of Randy Paush’s passing. If you haven’t heard of The Last Lecture or Randy Pausch, you should. Randy found out he only had a few months to live, and instead of dreading the end, he decided to live every moment to its fullest. As a college professer, his last lecture to his students became famous as it filtered through the Web and eventually became a book. So many lessons can be learned from Randy, from his courage and determination to live every day with joy to the lessons he left in his book.

One which I loved hearing about was his Wall of Dreams. When he was a little boy, he asked his parents if he could paint his dreams on his bedroom wall. They said yes, and you can still see them there today. This wall has inspired many to create their own Wall of Dreams!

What an amazing gift Randy left for us. My prayers and thoughts go out to Randy’s wife and children. He will be greatly missed and always remembered.
