the last lecture by randy pausch

I enjoyed the book "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. My Pausch recently
passed away from cancer. He had several tumors in his brain.
The story was witty and funny and made me think about my life
and how it affects those around me. I asked myself "How can I be a
better person to those around me?".
The story is bittersweet because Mr. Pausch find the love of his life,
has children but then discovers he has cancer. The kind that is fatal
and there is no hope. He outlook on life is very good despite the bad
news. He takes it one day at a time and enjoys his family as much as
possible. One woman in the book even remembers seeing him smiling
even though he had just found out the bad news. Those around him
can't tell he even is sick. His countenance is shining and positive.
The book is inspiring and sad at the same time.
I pray his family is handling this the best they can and will find
comfort and peace in celebrating his life
