Randy Pausch

Randy Pausch was one remarkable man. I was so glad to have tuned into Oprah one day and been able to see him and hear his words. The one bit of wisdom that he stated and that I gave to my granddaughter Raven who is thirteen (but not dating) is when you start to date don't just listen to what your date says but watch his actions. Oh so true.
He will be sadly missed. But on the other hand I am happy for all he was able to accomplish on this earth in his 47 yrs and what his lecture has done for me.

I was just reading about his death. He really made
an impression on a lot of people with his ideas about
life. I am sad for his family.

This saddened me too although I feel certain he must have had a positive impact on many people in the same situation as he was.
He had remarkable strength and dignity and I'm sure his children will watch his lecture time and time again and feel so proud of him.
Thanks Pink girl..
