The lesson lives on

Randy Paucsh, we’ll miss you.

You stood in front of a lecture hall filled to the rafters and delivered what will go down in history as the most extraordinary lesson on earth. With a smile and with humor, you reminded us what life is really all about. And you made it fun. And you made it something we could all aspire to.

Your book sits on my coffee table as a reminder that life is short. Joy is not.

At least, not if we paid attention to the lecture.

Rest in peace, oh happy one.
