My husband and I have been going through a tough patch for some time now with his health and diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. This past couple of months have been very difficult-our home is in foreclosure and the medical bills are piling up and food is difficult to get. Unfortunately, I have been feeling pretty sorry for myself over the past few months and thinking thoughts I should never think. I have questioned the reasons behind the plan for our lives. I have questioned whether God is hearing me when I pray and I know he is now. God directed me to watch this program and watch the full lecture on the internet. I have every reason to keep on because there is no guarantee for any of us in life. And as Randy Pausch said when Diane ask him what was the best part of his day, "I don't know it isn't over yet". That is living. And like Randy I want to live every mintute to the fullest and I want to enjoy every minute I have left with my husband. I want to be strong for him. And as Mrs. Pausch said so eloquently, "It is what it is and I am at peace with it... I don't like it...". Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Pausch. You have touched my life and my husband. You also have had a wonderful gift given to you Randy, you do get to "live everyday like you are dying..." . We should all do this; afterall we are all dying, but unlike you and my husband, most of us don't know when. God Bless You.

That video was pretty amazing. I live pretty close to the CMU campus, and although I didn't know Dr. Pausch or see the speech live, I'm pretty sure I recognize him from seeing him around the neighborhood. That lecture was the best thing I've heard in a long time. Thanks again. Wow, thanks for posting this. That video was pretty amazing.
